Table 3 Multiple regression analysis of several correlates with BMI

Variables	Coefficient	95 % CI		p value
WHR (ratio)	0.31	6.17	21.56	0.001**
TC (mmol/L)	0.24	−0.17	1.27	0.136
TG (mmol/L)	0.09	−0.53	1.25	0.426
LDL (mmol/L)	−0.11	−1.51	0.72	0.365
hs-CRP (U/L)	−0.48	−2.71	0.26	0.018*
Coronary risk	0.74	1.07	3.73	0.001**

The analysis used BMI as an independent variable and several parameters (TC, TG, hs-CRP, coronary risk and WHR) as the dependent variables
hs-CRP highly sensitive C-reactive protein, TC total cholesterol, TG triglyceride, WHR waist hip ratio, LDL low density lipoprotein
* Mean difference is significant (p < 0.05)
** Mean difference is highly significant (p < 0.0001)
