TC
total cholesterol 
HDL
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
SBP
systolic blood pressure
a

Simple linear regression.

b

General linear regression. There was no interaction between the fixed factor and the controlled variables and no multicollinearity problem; model assumptions met.

c

Crude regression coefficient.

d

Confidence Interval.

e

t statistic.

f

Adjusted regression coefficient.

g

R2 of GLR was 33.1% after adjustment for age, sex, education level, presence of DM, presence of HPT, baseline BMI, WC, SBP, TC and HDL.

h

R2 of GLR was 33.2% after adjustment for age, sex, education level, presence of DM, presence of HPT, baseline BMI, WC, SBP, TC and HDL.

i

R2 of GLR was 31.0% after adjustment for age, sex, education level, presence of DM, presence of HPT, baseline BMI, WC, TC, HDL and SBP.
