Table 4.
Simple linear regression—relationship of AL with cardiovascular-markers in lead-exposed (LE) and less lead-exposed (LLE) individuals at the 3 µg/dL threshold.
| Variables | lnAL Adjusted (95% CI) + | p-Value |
|---|---|---|
| GGT (LE) | 0.13 (0.01, 0.25) | 0.036 |
| nonHDL-C (LE) | 0.73 (0.48–0.97) | <0.001 |
| GGT (LLE) | 0.10 (0.02, 0.18) | 0.013 |
| nonHDL-C (LLE) | 0.596 (0.48–0.71) | <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.
