Association of HDL parameters with cholesterol efflux. Diagrams show 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. Biologically effective HDL cholesterol (HDL-Cˡ) was calculated using a recently developed formula based on measurements of HDL cholesterol and serum amyloid A (SAA) [11]. HDL-Cˡ = effective high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
