Biomarkers generally go in opposite direction in MUO and NW subject, compared with MHO subjects. The correlation plot displays the bivariate distribution between β regression coefficients (mean difference) and 95% confidence interval for all variables under study, for MUO vs MHO subjects (x axis) and NW vs MHO subjects (y axis). In this figure, significance level cut-off is set to P < 0.01. Non-significant variables are grey; those significantly different for MUO vs MHO are green; those significantly different for NW vs MHO are orange; those significantly different in both comparisons are in purple. The correlation coefficient and regression line indicates that biomarkers generally go in opposite direction in MUO and NW subject, compared with MHO subjects, with some exceptions in the upper right and lower left quadrant. Abbreviations: MUO, Metabolically unhealthy obese subjects; MHO, Metabolically healthy obese subjects; NW, Normal weight subjects; r, Spearman’s correlation coefficient; R2, Explained variance; SE, Standard error
