Table 3. Logistic regression models evaluating the relationship between circulating levels of estradiol (total and free; predictors) and metabolic syndrome (outcome) in older men
  Variable
  ORa (95% CI)
  P
  Age-adjusted log(total estradiol), pmol/L   2.69 (1.38-5.24)   .004
  Age-adjusted log(free estradiol), pmol/L   3.35 (1.84-6.07)   <.0001
  Model 1    
      Log(total estradiol), pmol/L   2.31 (1.39-4.70)   .02
      Log(free estradiol), pmol/L   2.69 (1.38-5.24)   <.001
  Model 2 [Model 1 + BMI + log(SHBG) + total testosterone + log(DHEAS)]    
      Log(total estradiol), pmol/L   2.61 (0.96-6.85)   .053
      Log(free estradiol), pmol/L   2.59 (1.01-6.66)   .048
  Model 3 (Model 1 + BMI)    
      Log(total estradiol), pmol/L   1.79 (0.77-4.09)   .18
      Log(free estradiol), pmol/L
  2.11 (1.03-4.33)
  .041

  Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; DHEAS, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate; OR, odd ratio; SHBG, sex hormone—binding globulin.
  a Each line refers to the results of a separate model. Values were adjusted for age, smoking, alcohol, physical activity, log(interleukin-6), and log(insulin) (Model 1).
