Odds ratios of hot flashes associated with abdominal adiposity adjusted for reproductive hormones
| Odds ratio (95% CI)a | ||
|---|---|---|
| Model 1 (+ FSH) | Model 2 (+ FEI) | |
| Total abdominal adiposity | 1.35 (1.09-1.69)b | 1.32 (1.06-1.64)c |
| Visceral | 1.21 (0.98-1.51) | 1.20 (0.97-1.49) |
| Subcutaneous | 1.37 (1.09-1.71)b | 1.33 (1.07-1.66)c |
FSH, follicle-stimulating hormone; FEI, free estradiol index.
Model 1: Adjusted for age, site, race/ethnicity, education, smoking, hormone use, antidepressant use, anxious symptoms, cycle day of blood draw, FSH.
Model 2: Adjusted for age, site, race/ethnicity, education, smoking, hormone use, antidepressant use, anxious symptoms, cycle day of blood draw, FEI.
a
Odds ratios correspond to every 1-SD increase in adiposity.
b
P < 0.01.
c
P < 0.05.
