This allowed us to calculate mass-corrected metabolic rates by taking the residuals of a regression of metabolic rate on body mass and adding the grand mean of all fitted values to provide meaningful scale.
Left mass added, right mass removed.
Difficulty descending stairs (adjusted OR 1.83; 95% CI 1.13, 2.96) and the presence of coarse crepitus (definite crepitus: aOR 2.46; 1.32, 4.60) were marginally informative when added to age, sex and body mass index but added little discriminative power (AUC 0.71 (95% CI 0.66, 0.76) vs 0.69 (0.74, 0.74); Χ2 = 1.23; P = 0.264).
In model 4, lifestyle factors in adolescence (represented by physical fitness and body mass) were also added to the model: BMI (in four categories) and physical fitness score (continuous).
Just as pediatric radiology is not simply general radiology for small adults, oncologic imaging is not simply the identification of masses added to general body imaging.
They suspected that obesity, more common among black women, might have been a factor, so they added body mass index to their calculations.
For both, the HDL cholesterol and the triglycerides models, the inclusion of a body mass index < 25 kg/m2 added little information and had only borderline statistical significance.
Age, smoking or tobacco use and body mass index (BMI) were added to the model as independent variables using stepwise regression analyses.
4 Recently, other factors such as microalbuminuria, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease, lower-socioeconomic status, abdominal obesity and higher body mass index have been added to improve risk estimation.
When adding body mass index (BMI) as an independent variable in the regression model, BMI became the most significant factor to predict MetS.
