TABLE 3.

Multivariable regression analysis of the l-arginine:ADMA ratio in 1138 healthy individuals of the Framingham Offspring Cohort1

Variable2 β ± SE3 P value
Homocysteine −1.21 ± 0.37 0.001
log CRP −2.35 ± 1.02 0.022
Glomerular filtration rate 0.09 ± 0.04 0.035
DBP 0.31 ± 0.15 0.037
1

ADMA, asymmetric dimethylarginine; CRP, C-reactive protein; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure.

2

Candidate variables that were considered for model entry were age, sex, BMI, SBP, DBP, the total:HDL ratio, alcohol consumption, TG, glomerular filtration rate, homocysteine, fasting glucose, and CRP.

3

All regression coefficients (β estimates) represent the estimated mean change in l-arginine:ADMA ratio per 1-unit increase in the corresponding covariate.
