Figure 1.

Association of cardiovascular risk factors with cholesterol efflux. Diagrams show the estimated marginal means with 95% confidence intervals obtained from a general linear model adjusted for use of statins, age, CAD, diabetes mellitus, smoking, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. Age, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides (log-transformed) were included as continuous rather than categorical covariables. p values are given for comparison with the first category of each variable. p values < 0.05 are shown in bold. CAD = coronary artery disease.
