Table 4 Multivariable regression risk factors for single slice epicardial fat volume (N = 94), R ² = 0.49

Model 2 Co-Variates	EFV Beta co-efficient	P
Model 2 Co-Variates	(95% Confidence Interval)	P
Log Coronary artery calcification score	0.48 (0.06–0.88)	0.025
Log UACR	0.25 (−0.44–0.97)	0.48
Interleukin −6	0.73 (0.14–1.30)	0.02
Diabetes mellitus	−0.47 (−1.38–0.45)	0.31
eGFR (per 10 ml/min/1.73 m² decrease)	−0.05 (−0.45–0.35)	0.81
