Multivariate analysis of backward regressions in the total population.

N = 121	Standardized regression coefficient	P value
Model 1 R = 0.52, F = 9.7, P < 0.001
ANGII	0.425	<0.001
MPO activity	0.236	0.018
Adiponectin	−0.196	0.05
Model 2 R = 0.58, F = 12.6, P < 0.001
ANGII	0.446	<0.001
MPO activity	0.315	0.001
Adiponectin	−0.201	0.03

Parameters introduced in the stepwise multiple regression analysis: age, BMI, adiponectin, IL-8, total cholesterol, HDL-c, LDL-c, triglycerides, glycaemia, MPO antigen, MPO activity, and the ratio MPO activity/MPO antigen. Model 1: the Mox-LDL is the dependent variable. Model 2: the Mox-LDL/ApoB is the dependent variable.
