Association between high HDL cholesterol (> 75th percentile) and low HDL cholesterol (< 25th percentile) and TaqI CETP genetic variants in women (A) and men (B)
A
| Women | HDL-C > 75th percentile (> 70 mg/dl) N = 81 | 25th percentile ≤ HDL-C ≤ 75th percentile (51–70 mg/dl) N = 231 | HDL-C < 25th percentile (< 51 mg/dl) N = 102 |
|---|---|---|---|
| B1B1 N = 139 | 20 (25%) | 64 (28%) | 55 (54%) |
| B2 allele carriers (B1B2 + B2B2) N = 275 | 61 (75%) | 167 (72%) | 47 (46%) |
Pearson’s chi-square (χ2) analysis was used, χ2 = 25.368, df = 2, p < 0.00001.
