  1. aln-transformed: adiponectin and LAR
  2. bWomen (n = 649) were divided into two subgroups via the WHR median: low WHR women (n = 326; 45 non-CHHF, 105 intermediate, and 176 CHHF) and high WHR women (n = 323; 85 non-CHHF, 124 intermediate, and 114 CHHF)
  3. Linear regression, adjusting for age, diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides (ln-transformed), menopausal status, and body mass index
  4. Abbreviations: CHHF cold hypersensitivity in the hands and feet, WHR waist-to-hip ratio, CI confidence interval, LAR, Leptin-to-adiponectin ratio
