Data are presented as Pearson's correlation coefficients (r). p values are for associations between RLP-C and other variables. p values <0.05 are considered statistically significant.
ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; GGT, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance; hsCRP, high sensitivity CRP; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; r, correlation coefficient; RLP-C, remnant lipoprotein cholesterol; SAT, subcutaneous adipose thickness; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SST, suprailiac skinfold thickness; TG, triglycerides; VAT, visceral adipose thickness.
