Systemic Inflammation and Lung Function Impairment in Morbidly Obese Subjects with the Metabolic Syndrome

Table 5

Univariate regression analysis of relation of components of metabolic syndrome and FEV₁/FVC ratio.

	Regression coefficient	Standard error	𝑃 value^1
Abdominal circumference	NA
Hypertriglycemia	−1.119	0.739	0.130
Low serum HDL-cholesterol	0.712	0.686	0.300
Hypertension	−1.612	0.774	0.038
High serum glucose	−0.010	0.753	0.989

¹Data presented as linear regression coefficient, 𝑃 value for linear regression analysis.
Abdominal circumference is not applicable, because all patients fulfill the criteria for abdominal circumference according to the NCEP-ATP III criteria for metabolic syndrome.
