Percent differences in the concentration of HDL with and without apoC-III by anthropometry and physical activity in participants of the Danish Diet, Cancer, and Health study
| Age- and Sex-Adjusted Percent Difference (95% CI)a | ||
| Exposures | HDL Containing apoC-III | HDL Not Containing apoC-III |
| Waist circumference (per 15 cm) | 2.80 (0.36, 5.30) | −4.70 (−5.95, −3.42) |
| Waist-to-hip ratio (per 0.1 units) | 2.83 (0.26, 5.46) | −3.93 (−5.28, −2.57) |
| BMI (per 5 kg/m2) | 2.13 (−0.03, 4.35) | −3.83 (−4.97, −2.69) |
| BMI categories (kg/m2) | ||
| 25 to <30 versus <25 | 0.72 (−3.11, 4.71) | −3.18 (−5.25, −1.06) |
| >30 versus <25 | 7.00 (1.80, 12.48) | −9.22 (−11.70, −6.67 |
| Body composition | ||
| Fat mass (per 5 kg) | 1.12 (0.07, 2.18) | −2.15 (−2.71, −1.58) |
| Fat percentage (per 5%) | 1.64 (0.15, 3.16) | −2.70 (−3.50, −1.90) |
| Physical activity (per 20 MET h/week) | −1.00 (−1.76, −0.23) | 0.64 (0.21, 1.09) |
n = 3,631 except for waist circumference (n = 3,630), waist-to-hip ratio (n = 3,629), body composition (n = 3,619), and physical activity (n = 3,620). Boldface indicates significant result.

Adjusted for age (continuous), sex (male, female), future CHD case status (whether participant developed CHD during 10 year follow-up), and HDL with or without apoC-III concentration, respectively.
