  1. Model 1: unadjusted; Model 2 adjusted for age; Model 3 adjusted for age and mensuration status; Model 4 adjusted for age, mensuration status and HOMA-IR
  2. Dependent variables that did not follow a normal distribution were transformed using the log function for SHBG and LH/FSH, and the square root function for FAI, DHEAS, and total testosterone
  3. BMI body mass index, FAI free androgen index, LH luteinizing hormone, FSH follicle-stimulating hormone, SHBG sex hormone-binding globulin, DHEAS dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, HOMA-IR homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, SE standard error of mean
