Next, the participants were divided into 7 groups according to VFA at 20-cm 2 increments, and an increasing trend in serum LCN2 levels was found to accompany an increase in VFA (median for each group: 32.50, 37.80, 37.70, 39.11, 45.00, 44.20, and 41.75 ng/mL; P for trend <0.001; Fig. 3 ). 3.3 Multivariate analyses for detecting variables that contribute to serum LCN2 levels Partial correlation analysis adjusted for age was conducted to detect the relationship between serum LCN2 levels and anthropometric indices of obesity and other laboratory parameters.
