Multivariate logistic regression analysis to evaluate the role of anti-HDL/IgG as independent predictors of AAA. The presence of anti-HDL was entered as a dichotomous variable using the objective cut-off explained in the Methods’ section to evaluate the strength of the association between the presence of anti-HDL and AAA.
