Figure 6. Elevated oxidized LDL is associated with a high risk of the metabolic syndrome.

Figure 6

The data are odds ratios (and 95% CI intervals) for incident metabolic syndrome after 5 years' follow-up in the second to fifth quintiles compared with the lowest quintile of oxidized LDL or LDL-cholesterol. These ratios were adjusted for age, gender, race, study center, cigarette smoking, BMI, physical activity and LDL-cholesterol or oxidized LDL. Data are from the Cardiovascular Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study [65].
