Multiple linear regression predicting waist circumference ().

Variable	(SE)		95% CI
Step  1
(Constant)	85.17 (1.74)		81.75–88.60
Female gender	14.04 (1.99)	0.38**	10.14–17.95
Step  2
(Constant)	36.56 (8.94)		18.98–54.14
Male versus female	1.86 (1.99)	0.05	−2.05–5.77
WHR	33.59 (4.24)	0.43**	25.25–41.93
Duration	−0.020 (0.14)	−0.01	−0.29–0.25
