The Estimation of First-Phase Insulin Secretion by Using Components of the Metabolic Syndrome in a Chinese Population

Table 4

Multiple linear regression of the associated factors with log (first-phase insulin secretion) in the 2 equations.

Variables	MetS components; Beta (P value)	MetS components + FPI; Beta (P value)
Fasting plasma glucose	−0.386 (0.000)	−0.415 (0.000)
Body mass index	0.361 (0.000)	0.269 (0.001)
HDL-C	−0.181 (0.028)	−0.177 (0.017)
Log (FPI)	—	0.288 (0.005)

Beta: standardized coefficients; MetS: metabolic syndrome; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; FPI: fasting plasma insulin.
