---|---|---|---|---|
Parameters | OR (95% CI) | p Value | OR (95% CI) | p Value |
Hypertension (0 = no; 1 = yes) | 1.88 | 0.35 | 1.38 | 0.52 |
Systolic pressure (mm Hg) | 0.24 | 0.68 | 0.26 | 0.32 |
Serum LDL (mmol/L) | 1.41 | 0.41 | 1.34 | 0.25 |
Serum HDL (mmol/L) | 0.11 | 0.02 | 0.31 | 0.34 |
Hb A1c (%) | 0.89 | 0.03 | 1.23 | 0.43 |
CG allele | 1.03 | 0.49 | 0.72 | 0.17 |
GG allele | 1.18 | 0.03 | 0.68 | 0.51 |
OR (95% CI): odds ratio (95% confidence interval); LDL: low-density lipoprotein; HDL: high-density lipoprotien; all models were adjusted by age, sex, smoking habits and treatment with statins. The reference group are homozygotes for the C allele (the CC genotype).
