Table 2.

Differences in measured blood chemistry between those with normal, low and high ABPI.

	Normal ABPI n = 101	Low ABPI n = 67	High ABPI n = 66
BGL (mmol/L)	6.81 ± 2.9	6.2 ± 1.9	6.1 ± 2.9
HbA1c (%)	6.5 ± 1.1	6.7 ± 1.2	6.1 ± 0.8*%
TC (mmol/L)	5.02 ± 1	4.89 ± 1.05	5.1 ± 1.4
Trigs (mmol/L)	1.41 ± 0.9	1.46 ± 0.9	1.2 ± 0.7
HDL (mmol/L)	1.49 ± 0.5	1.51 ± 0.5	1.53 ± 0.5
LDL (mmol/L)	2.89 ± 0.9	2.7 ± 1	3 ± 1.2
TC/HDL	3.6 ± 1	3.5 ± 1.1	3.6 ± 1.3

^*p < 0.05 is significant for low vs. high ABPI.

^#p < 0.05 normal vs. low ABPI.

^%p < 0.05 normal vs. high ABPI; BGL, blood glucose level; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; TC, total cholesterol; Trigs, triglycerides; HDL, high density lipoprotein; LDL, low density lipoprotein; TC/HDL, total cholesterol: high density lipoprotein ratio. (Values in mean ± standard deviation).
