Results of logistic regression models to distinguish those individuals with diabetes, high triglycerides (TG), low HDL, high blood pressure (BP), metabolic syndrome (MetS), and mortality in NHANES 1999–2004 by trunk to leg volume ratio.

AUC is the area under the receiver-operator characteristic curve. Odds ratios are displayed as odds ratio (95% confidence interval). Quartile cut points (Q1-Q4) were based on individuals without diabetes.aAge model adjusts for age.bCovariate model adjusts for gender, race/ethnicity, age, BMI, waist circumference, self-reported activity level, and poverty index ratio.cCovariate 2 model adjusts for gender, race/ethnicity, age, BMI, waist circumference, self-reported activity level, poverty index ratio, and trunk to leg fat mass ratio.dFull model adjusts for all variables in b and insulin, triglycerides, HDL, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure.eFull 2 model adjusts for all variables in d and trunk to leg fat mass ratio.*Odds ratio not significant.†Forward selection turned off because trunk to leg volume ratio quartile wasn’t significant enough to remain in the model otherwise.
