Relationship of other plasma lipoproteins to Lp(a)-C concentrations (n = 121)

		Independent variables1
Models	Other variables included in models	TC	HDL-C	VLDL-C	IDL-C	LDL-C	TAG
		Standardized regression coefficient with Lp(a) as dependent variable2
I	None	0.219*	0.462***	-0.254**	-0.155	0.097	-0.283**
II	Covar	0.244**	0.541***	-0.276**	-0.166	0.114	-0.307***
III	Covar + BMIz	0.235**	0.446***	-0.196*	-0.113	0.145	-0.187*
IV	Covar + WC	0.227**	0.450***	-0.200*	-0.108	0.142	-0.190*

¹Regression analyses were performed separately for each independent lipoprotein variable. Coefficients are shown following adjustments for covariates (covar) including child sex, age, pubertal stage, group assignment and family socio-economic status

²Significance: * for p < 0.05, ** for p < 0.01, *** for p ≤ 0.001
