Binary logistic regression model.

Variables	TG/HDL cholesterol ratio
	β		OR
Sex (male = 1; female = 2)	0.162	0.176	2.292
Age (years)	0.077	0.753	0.943
HOMA-IR	0.748	0.911	1.032
IGF-1 (ng/ml)	0.023	0.181	1.004

Dependent variable: TG/HDL ch. ratio. HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance; HDL: high-density lipoproteins; TG: triglyceride; IGF-1: insulin-like growth factor-1; BMI: body mass index.
