Table 4 Multiple linear regression analysis in overweight/obese PCOS women.

Independent variables: BMI, insulin, 25(OH)D, L/A, FAI
Step	Variables inserted in the model	p	R²
1	L/A	<0.001	0.36
2	L/A Insulin	<0.001 <0.001	0.58

Variables excluded from the model: BMI, FAI

Variations in PED/PEA-15 abundance explained by stepwise model (p to include < 0.05, p to remove > 0.1) with selected variables in o/o PCOS women (n = 48). BMI, body mass index; 25(OH)D, 25(OH) Vitamin D; PED/PEA-15, L/A, leptin-to-adiponectin ratio; FAI, free androgen index.
