TG level by race/ethnicity (adjusted for age, sex, SSPG and BMI).
| Non-Hispanic White | Hispanic White | South Asian | East Asian | African American | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 148 ± 5 | 124 ± 14 | 131 ± 13 | 157 ± 136 | 107 ± 17a | <0.01 |
| (137, 158) | (97, 152) | (106, 156) | (132, 182) | (74, 140) |
TG: triglyceride; SSPG: steady-state plasma glucose; BMI: body mass index; SE: standard error.
Data shown as mean ± SE and 95% confidence interval (in parentheses). TG values are displayed in mg/dL; statistical analysis performed on naturallog transformed TG levels. Covariates in the model are evaluated at the following values: age, 49 years; sex, 1.4 (where sex = ‘1’ if female and ‘2’ if male); SSPG, 161 mg/dL; and BMI, 29.8 kg/m2. The value of p ⩽ 0.05 is considered statistically significant.
