The regression equation of resistin (ng/mL) = 11.155 + 0.044 × erythrocyte sedimentation rate (mm/hour) + 0.035 × S-creatinine (μmol/L) - 2.915 × C3 (g/L) + 0.127 × current steroid dose (mg/day) - 1.438 × high-density lipoprotein (mmol/L) - 7.133 × bone mineral density radius (g/cm2). Beta values are unstandardized regression coefficients. R2 is equal to the variance explained in the model. SE, standard error. |
