Association between AIP and CVD risk factors among postmenopausal rural women, n = 265.
| CVD risk factors | Standardized coefficient β | p value |
|---|---|---|
| Age | 0.601 (−0.003 to 0.04) | 0.087 |
| Age at menopause | −0.488 (−0.043 to 0.000) | 0.053 |
| Duration of menopause | −0.606 (−0.043 to −0.001) | 0.043* |
| WHR | 0.165 (0.195–0.977) | 0.003* |
| 2-h PG | 0.118 (0.001–0.027) | 0.04* |
| TC (mmol/l) | 1.082 (0.148–0.247) | 0.000* |
| LDL-C (mmol/l) | −1.044 (−0.254 to −0.149) | 0.000* |
| MET | −0.171 (0.000–0.000) | 0.003* |
Multiple linear regression analysis was done (adjusted).
All the precisions are estimated at 95% confidence interval.
AIP, atherogenic index of plasma; CVD, cardiovascular diseases; WHR, waist–hip ratio; PG, plasma glucose; TC, total cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; MET, metabolic equivalent of tasks.
*The standardized coefficient β was statistically significant at a threshold of p < 0.05.
