Table 2 Multivariable linear regression analyses with body mass index (BMI)

	Dependent variable: BMI
Variables	Standardized coefficient β (SE)	P
Adiponectin	−0.39 (0.07)	<0.001
NT-proBNP	−0.32 (0.07)	<0.001
MR-proANP	−0.11 (0.08)	0.16
MR-proADM	0.05 (0.08)	0.57
Copeptin	−0.12 (0.07)	0.13
α-defensins	−0.06 (0.07)	0.46
hsCRP	0.01 (0.09)	0.89

All the respective biomarker-models are adjusted for age, sex, LVEF, NYHA, eGFR, andT2D.
Abbreviations: eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; MR-proADM: mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin; MR-proANP: mid-regional pro-A-type natriuretic peptide; NT-proBNP: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; NYHA: New York Heart Association functional classification; T2D: type 2 diabetes.
