FIGURE 1 Relationships between DHEAS and multiple independent variables studied. Univariate linear regression demonstrates significant inverse relationships between age and DHEAS levels (A and B) and body mass index (BMI) and DHEAS (C and D) in both whites and Mexican Americans with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). No such correlation was observed when the homeostatic QUICKI test (E and F) and AUCinsulin (G and H) were analyzed against DHEAS as the dependent variable. rs = Spearman’s correlation coefficient.
