Among 1055 middle-aged Chinese men and women, we observed that reduced plasma HMW-adiponectin and sOB-R, and elevated leptin level were significantly associated with an increased risk of MetS and some of its components independent of multiple confounders including BMI and inflammatory markers.
After controlling for multiple confounders including mobility limitation, PA correlated with a higher SMSE score in non-ɛ4 carriers (P = 0.014), but not in ɛ4 carriers (P = 0.887).
It is worth noting that, in this study, the association of HDI with UHT remained significant after adjustment for multiple confounders, including obesity.
It was associated with gout in both the HPFS (RR = 3.61, 95% CI = 1.60, 8.14, adjusted for multiple confounders including diuretic use) [ 63] and the UK-GPRD (age-adjusted and sex-adjusted OR = 4.95, 95% CI = 4.28, 5.72) [ 13].
Despite these considerations, by adjusting the effects of multiple confounders, including hepatic insufficiency, we believe that the serum lactate level measured during CPR, with its complex physiologic and pathologic implications, could still serve as a useful prognostic factor for outcomes.
36 37 38 In our study this relation persisted after controlling for multiple confounders, including fatty acids, animal protein, and haem iron; previous studies gave no such data on potential confounders.
These observations were robust to analytic control for multiple potential confounders including age, sex, insurance status, geography and hospital ownership.
These results were significant after extensive and rigorous control for multiple potential confounders, including several non-PCB contaminants (prenatal MeHg, DDE, HCB, and pre- and postnatal Pb).
Null results remained after adjustment for multiple potential confounders, including fish consumption.
This finding is independent of multiple potential confounders including timeliness of antibiotic treatment.
These relationships were robust to adjustment for multiple potential confounders, including SES and spatial characteristics, and apparently without threshold.
