Association between CETP activity and PCSK9 levels
| Adjusted for | CETP | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Beta | P | R 2 | |
| PCSK9 | |||
| Model 1: crude (no adjustment) | 0.253 | <0.0001 | 0.064 |
| Model 2: age, gender and BMI | 0.268 | <0.0001 | 0.085 |
| Model 3: model 2 + LDL-C, TG, and Glu | 0.107 | 0.001 | 0.582 |
| Model 4: model 3 + SBP and LCAT | 0.107 | 0.004 | 0.624 |
| Model 5: model 4 + MetS | 0.110 | 0.003 | 0.624 |
Linear regression analysis results are displayed as beta coefficients with the P and R 2 values for each model. CETP was the dependent variable
BMI body mass index, LDL-C LDL cholesterol, TG triglycerides, Glu glucose, SBP systolic blood pressure, LCAT lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase, MetS metabolic syndrome
