Univariate and multivariate regression analysis to identify factors correlated with the absolute change in the serum HDL-C/apoA-1 ratio, (N = 476)

Univariate			Multivariate
Variable	r	p value	β	t	p value
∆ DHA	− 0.205	< 0.0001	− 0.171	− 3.679	0.0003
∆ LDL-Rm value	− 0.139	0.005	− 0.142	− 3.059	0.0023
Age	0.036	0.429
Male gender	− 0.062	0.177
BMI	0.046	0.312
Smoking	0.037	0.424
Hypertension	0.180	0.727
Diabetes mellitus	− 0.049	0.280
Dyslipidemia	− 0.048	0.299
Lipid-modifying drugs	0.001	0.985

All variables correlated with the ∆ HDL-C/apoA-1 ratio at p < 0.05 in the univariate regression analysis were entered into the multivariate model. The abbreviations are the same as in Tables 1 and 2, LDL-Rm = relative LDL migration. A decrease in the LDL-Rm value indicates an increase in the LDL particle size [25, 26]. r = correlation coefficient; β = standard partial regression coefficient, multiple R = 0.244, F = 14.460, p < 0.0001
