CriterionStep zero†Last step‡
Rp valueRp value
Stepwise linear regression analysis was used. Adj gCBF = 4.10−0.521*age−0.0775*BMI−0.0010*DB40.
†Step zero shows the univariate relationship (R = partial correlation) between each parameter and the tested variable; ‡in further steps the parameter with the highest partial correlation appears. The last step shows the independent correlations found.
Adj gCBF, gCBF adjusted for gender differences; NS, non-significant correlation, p<0.05; R, partial correlations.
