* PCOS: polycystic ovarian syndrome; \(\beta\) (95% CI): unstandardized coefficients (95% CI); BMI: body mass index; TG: triglycerides; HDL-c: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance): (In insulin (mU/L)X glucose (mmol/L))/22.5; glucose: mmol/L = mg/dL/18 ([PERSON] et al. 1985).

Table 3: Multivariate linear regression analysis for individual body composition measures as predictors of lipid profile in PCOS (\(n\) = 126) and controls (\(n\) = 159). These multivariate analyses also showed that PCOS lost its significant association with TG, HDL-c, and LDL-c after adjustment for fat mass.
