Univariate correlations between high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-mediated macrophage cholesterol efflux (MCE) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth rate, apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) and body mass index (BMI) in the small/medium size AAA group.
| Growth Rate | ApoA-I | HDLc | BMI | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MCE capacity in small/medium size AAA group | 0.11 (−0.11–0.32) |
0.36 (0.16–0.54) |
0.37 (0.16–0.55) |
−0.36 (−0.54–(−0.15)) |
| p-value | ns | <0.001 | <0.001 | <0.01 |
Results expressed as r Pearson coefficient (95% confidence interval), ns = non-significant.
