 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

^aStandardised regression β coefficient ± SEM

^bAdjusted coefficient of determination

p values for adjusted R² are significant at <0.0045 (Bonferroni adjusted p value)
