Partial correlation analysis between BMI and related indexes (n=3056)
| Related indexes | Partial correlation coefficient (controlling age, gender) | P value |
| FPG | 0.077 | <0.001*** |
| ALB | −0.010 | 0.573 |
| DBIL | −0.049 | 0.008** |
| IBIL | −0.004 | 0.833 |
| TBIL | −0.038 | 0.035* |
| ALT | 0.165 | <0.001*** |
| AST | 0.037 | 0.040* |
Except for gender, all the variables (age BMI, FPG, ALB, DBIL, IBIL, TBIL, ALT and AST) in the partial correlation coefficient were continuous variables.
*P<0.05, **p<0.01,***p<0.001.
ALB, albumin; ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase;BMI, body mass index; DBIL, direct bilirubin; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; IBIL, indirect bilirubin; TBIL, total bilirubin.
