Table 4. Association between APOE ε2 and gastric cancer subtype.
Gastric cancer subtype | Single variable analysis |
Multivariable analysis |
||
---|---|---|---|---|
OR (95% CI) | P-value | OR (95% CI) | P-value | |
Intestinal | 1.41 (0.94, 2.11) | 0.10 | 2.01 (1.13, 3.56) | 0.017 |
Diffuse | 1.51 (1.00, 2.27) | 0.051 | 2.86 (1.57, 5.21) | 0.0006 |
OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval. ORs, 95% CIs, and p-values result from logistic regression models. Multivariable models were adjusted for all variables that were associated with risk of overall gastric cancer in single variable analysis with a p-value of 0.10 or lower, which were age, BMI, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, ApoA1, ApoB, and ApoA1/apoB ratio.
