Table 2

Univariate analysis of variables of the participants with MUO.

Variable	OR (95% CI)
Age (years)	1.05 (1.02–1.07)	0.0004
Sex
Male	1.0
Female	0.78 (0.39–1.57)	0.4881
BMI (kg/m^2)	1.18 (1.02–1.35)	0.0234
WC (cm)	1.16 (1.09-1.24)	<0.0001
WHR (per 1SD)	1.64 (1.16-2.30)	0.0048
SBP (mmHg)	1.10 (1.06–1.13)	<0.0001
DBP (mmHg)	1.12 (1.08–1.16)	<0.0001
TG (mmol/L)	5.30 (2.93–9.61)	<0.0001
TC (mmol/L)	1.69 (1.24–2.32)	0.0011
HDL-C (mmol/L)	0.04 (0.01–0.15)	<0.0001
LDL-C (mmol/L)	1.77 (1.22–2.58)	0.0029
FBS (mmol/L)	11.81 (4.54–30.69)	<0.0001
NEFA (mmol/L)	4.18 (0.48–36.23)	0.1940
HbA1c (per 1%)	51.80 (11.37–235.97)	<0.0001
NPY(per 10 pg/mL)	1.06 (1.03–1.08)	<0.0001

ORs are given per year increase in age, for male vs. female, per 1 SD in WHR, per 1% in HbA1c, per 10 pg/mL in NPY, and per 1 unit in the other parameters (i.e., BMI, WC, SBP, DBP, TG, TC, HDL, LDL, FBS, and NEFA) with 95% CIs.
