Multivariate regression analysis using the cytokines as dependent variables and smoking status, hypertension, BMI, and hypercholesterolemia as independent variables.

We report odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) evaluated for association between each significant cytokine (shown in Table 2) and BMI in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), chronic hepatitis C (CHC), CHC hepatitis and type 2 diabetes (CHD), CHC-related cirrhosis (LC), and CHC-related cirrhosis and type 2 diabetes (LCD). OR being positively associated (higher than 1) to cytokines are evidenced in bold.
