Multivariate analysis of factors affecting Hcy concentration in male and female.
| Male | Female | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| β | P | β | P | |
| eGFR | − 0.192 | < 0.0001 | – | – |
| Cystatin C | 0.173 | 0.002 | 0.319 | < 0.0001 |
| BUN | − 0.14 | 0.003 | – | – |
| Albumin | – | – | 0.227 | < 0.0001 |
| DBP | − 0.113 | 0.01 | – | – |
| Smoker (vs. ex-smoker) | 0.112 | 0.003 | – | – |
| fT3 | − 0.091 | 0.038 | − 0.217 | 0.001 |
| fT4 | – | – | 0.179 | 0.004 |

Multivariable analysis included smoking status, drinking, age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, DBP, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, eGFR, cystatin C, thyroid stimulating hormone, fT3, fT4, serum potassium, total protein, albumin. Values of β are standardized regression coefficients. A smoker in this study means a current smoker; ex-smoker includes never smoker and former smoker.
eGFR, Estimated glomerular filtration rate; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; fT3, free triiodothyronine; fT4, free thyroxine; K, serum potassium.
