Circulating Betatrophin Is Increased in Patients with Overt and Subclinical Hypothyroidism

Table 2

Variables independently associated with betatrophin, as identified by linear regression analysis.

Variables	β	SE	P
Log TSH	0.160	0.045	<0.001
Log TG	0.198	0.088	0.026

Variables included in the original model were according to both statistical significance and clinical significance, including TSH, FT4, FT3, TG, GGT BMI, and Age.
Nonnormally distributed variables such as betatrophin, TSH, FT4, FT3, TG, and GGT were logarithmically transformed before testing.
