Relationships between BMI z-score or HOMA and metabolic and vascular parameters in obese adolescents.


		value	Slope-intercept

Regression analysis versus BMI z-score
Body fat (%)	0.44	<0.001	= 0.27 + 0.08
Systolic BP z-score	0.07	0.007	= −0.84 + 1.04
Diastolic BP z-score	0.08	0.005	= 0.31 + 0.74
Insulin	0.24	<0.001	= −13.25 + 14.22
HOMA	0.21	<0.001	= −2.86 + 3.12
HDL cholesterol	0.05	0.026	= 1.60 − 0.20
Triglycerides	0.05	0.027	= 0.24 + 0.43
Leptin	0.18	<0.001	= −4.98 + 19.74
Leptin/adiponectin ratio	0.05	0.030	= 3.50 + 7.22
Regression analysis versus HOMA
FPG	0.16	<0.001	= −6.89 + 2.22
2 h GTT glucose	0.14	0.002	= −0.06 + 0.62

BMI: body mass index; BP: blood pressure; HOMA: Homeostasis Model Assessment; GTT: glucose tolerance test. No significant relationships were found between BMI z-score and adiponectin, LDL, fasting blood glucose or 2 h GTT values, and A1C or peripheral arterial tomography.
