Variables statistically associated with circulating Lp-PLA2 in multivariate stepwise regression analysis
| Independent variables | Standard βa | Adjusted R2b | p value for R2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-diabetic | – | 0.096 | 0.020 |
| LDL-cholesterol | 0.34 ± 0.18 | – | – |
| Type 2 diabetic | – | 0.597 | 1.5×10−5 |
| OxLDL | 0.77 ± 0.09 | – | – |
| Triacylglycerol | −0.38 ± 0.13 | – | – |
| HDL-cholesterol | −0.30 ± 0.14 | – | – |
| All | – | 0.097 | 0.004 |
| LDL-cholesterol | 0.33 ± 0.11 | – | – |
The following independent variables were considered for the model: BMI, fasting glucose, HOMA-IR, cholesterol, triacylglycerol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, insulin, endotoxin, oxLDL
