Correlation of High-Molecular-Weight Adiponectin and Leptin Concentrations with Anthropometric Parameters and Insulin Sensitivity in Newborns

Table 4

Multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis with insulin sensitivity index (G/I) as dependent variable.

Independent variable	Beta coefficient	Standard error		value
Leptin		0.063
Birth weight		0.001
HMW-adiponectin		0.053		0.08

Model adjusted ² = 0.251. Independent variables included in the model were HMW-adiponectin (µg/mL), leptin (ng/mL), gestational age (weeks), birth weight (g), body length (cm), head circumference (cm), placenta weight (g), and the type of delivery. < 0.05, < 0.001. G/I: glucose/insulin ratio; HMW-adiponectin: high-molecular-weight adiponectin.
