Simple linear regression—relationship of AL with cardiovascular-markers in lead-exposed (LE) individuals and less lead-exposed (LLE) individuals at the 5 µg/dL threshold.
| Variables | lnAL Adjusted (95% CI) + | p-Value |
|---|---|---|
| GGT (LE) | 0.30 (−0.12, 0.72) | 0.148 |
| nonHDL-C (LE) | 0.79 (−0.13–1.70) | 0.088 |
| GGT (LLE) | 0.10 (0.03, 0.17) | 0.009 |
| nonHDL-C (LLE) | 0.60 (0.50–0.71) | <0.001 |
+ adjusted for age, BMI, gender, alcohol consumption, smoking, in addition to taking prescription medicines for hypertension. LE = Lead-Exposed, LLE = Less Lead-Exposed.
