Table 3

Stepwise linear regression model with HOMA-IR as dependent variable and follow-up variables as independent variables.

Variables included in modelβ

s-triglycerides (mM)0.35<0.001
Waist (cm)0.31<0.001
3-HIB (%)0.19<0.001
Age (y)−0.18<0.001
s-C-reactive protein (mg/L)0.150.008
Diastolic BP (mmHg)0.130.01
Physical activity−0.120.01
BMI change (kg/m2)0.110.02

Out of 22 variables, 8 remained in the final model to predict HOMA-IR variance; , , and adjusted .
