Association of Serum Ceruloplasmin Level with Obesity: Some Components of Metabolic Syndrome and High-Sensitive C-Reactive Protein in Iran

Table 3

BMI in relation to serum ceruloplasmin level and other variables, in case and control group separately. Results for linear multiple regression analysis.

	BMI < 25		BMI ≥ 25
	β * (95% CI)	𝑃 value	β (95% CI)	𝑃 value
Ceruloplasmin	0/49 (−0/005–0/1)	0/072	0/012 (−0/15–0/13)	0/86
FBS	0/002 (−0/03–0/04)	0/91	0/127 (−0/02–0/27)	0/1
Total cholesterol	0/01 (−0/03–0/01)	0/33	0/005 (−0/05–0/06)	0/88
Triglyceride	0/004 (−0/004–0/01)	0/13	0/002 (−0/02–0/02)	0/88
LDL cholesterol	0/009 (−0/01–0/03)	0/54	0/031 (−0/12–0/06)	0/51
hs-CRP	−0/19 (−0/01–0/03)	0/225	0/54 (−1/72–0/64)	0/36

∗β indicates regression coefficient that is adjusted for age, gender, smoking, hypertension, FBS, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride and hs-CRP.
