Stepwise regression analyses of the parameters of total HDL and HDL₃ oxidation in the combined population of low HDL and control subjects

		Propagation rate		Maximal dienes
		β	P	β	P
Total HDL oxidation
	HDL2 particle mass (mg/dl)	0.390	0.005	NE	-
	HDL mean particle size (nm)	0.325	0.021	0.582	< 0.001
	hsCRP (mg/l)	-0.205	0.005	NE	-
HDL3 oxidation
	hsCRP (mg/l)	-0.321	0.021	NE	-

BMI and TG were included. β: Standardized regression coefficient. NE: Factor that did not enter the final model. The adjusted multiple R2 of the regression model of propagation rate and maximal dienes of total HDL oxidation was 0.556 and 0.321, respectively. The adjusted multiple R2 of the regression model of propagation rate and maximal dienes of HDL₃ oxidation was 0.062 and -0.008, respectively.
