Table 4. Multiple Stepwise Linear Regression Analysis for SD-LDLC as a Dependent Variable.
| Independent variables | Standardized β | Cumulative R2 | P values |
|---|---|---|---|
| LDLC | 0.232 | 0.069 | 0.001 |
| CV-HbA1c | 0.189 | 0.124 | 0.011 |
| Users of hypolipidemic drugs | 0.247 | 0.180 | 0.001 |
| Fasting TG | 0.172 | 0.197 | 0.018 |
| eGFR | 0.151 | 0.213 | 0.039 |
Independent variables included waist circumference, users of hypolipidemic drugs, CV-HbA1c, mean LDLC, fasting TG, and eGFR. SD-LDLC: standard deviation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; OHA: oral hypoglycemic agents; CCB: calcium channel blockers; RASi: renin-angiotensin system inhibitors; PG: plasma glucose; CV: coefficient of variation; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; BP: blood pressure; ACR: albumin/creatinine ratio; IMT: intima-media thickness.
