Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis for the determinants of LVMI in subjects at high or low risk of LVH.

*p<0.05, †p<0.001. – The numbers are the standardized β weights of the determinants. – Obesity is defined as a body mass index ≥25 kg/m2. – Low and high arterial stiffness are defined as the lowest and the highest quartiles of the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, respectively. LVMI, left ventricular mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; Log-HOMA-IR, log-transformed homeostatic assessment of insulin resistance; Log-ADPN, log-transformed adiponectin.
