Table 2. Individual African-European Ancestry is associated with Triglyceride and Cholesterol Levels.
| p-value: Population-wide | p-value: Comparison of Upper and Lower Quintiles of Trait | |
| TG 1 | 6.5×10−5 | 0.0046 |
| HDL-C 2 | 0.00090 | 0.017 |
| LDL-C 3 | 0.40 | 0.027 |
1
Adjusted for age, age2, gender, bmi, bmi2, type 2 diabetes (dm2), smoking.
2
Adjusted for gender, bmi, bmi2, dm2.
3
Adjusted for age, age2, gender, bmi, bmi2, dm2, smoking; individuals on cholesterol-lowering medication were excluded.
Linear and logistic regressions were used to estimate the strength of association of individual African/European ancestry with triglycerides and the cholesterol traits.
