| Variables included in model | Number with complete data on all variables included in model | Age adjusted OR (95% CI) | Fully adjusted§ OR (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| *Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride concentrations (logged), waist–hip ratio (all entered as continuous variables), insulin resistance diabetes categories (indicator variables: fifths of HOMA score and diabetes). | |||
| †Body mass index, leg length, and trunk length (all entered as continuous variables). | |||
| ‡All variables included in the five previous models. | |||
| §Fully adjusted = adjusted for the variables listed in first column; in each case the age adjusted estimate is based only on those with complete data included in the final fully adjusted model. | |||
| CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio. | |||
