Comparison of Mean Levels of the Components of Lipid-Related Indices Between Nonsmokers and Smokers in Women with Hyperglycemia
| Component of lipid-related index | Nonsmokers | Smokers |
|---|---|---|
| Waist-to-height ratio | ||
| Univariate | 0.543 (0.540 to 0.546) | 0.529 (0.521 to 0.538)** |
| Multivariate | 0.543 (0.540 to 0.546) | 0.529 (0.521 to 0.538)** |
| Log-triglycerides, mg/dL | ||
| Univariate | 2.042 (2.031 to 2.053) | 2.099 (2.069 to 2.130)** |
| Multivariate | 2.040 (2.030 to 2.051) | 2.110 (2.082 to 2.138)** |
| HDL-C, mg/dL | ||
| Univariate | 59.7 (59.0 to 60.4) | 57.3 (55.7 to 59.0)** |
| Multivariate | 59.9 (59.3 to 60.5) | 56.3 (54.5 to 58.1)** |
| LDL-C, mg/dL | ||
| Univariate | 129.4 (127.9 to 130.8) | 132.1 (128.2 to 136.0) |
| Multivariate | 129.1 (127.7 to 130.5) | 134.0 (130.4 to 137.7)* |
Mean levels with 95% confidence intervals in parentheses for each variable in smokers and nonsmokers are shown. In multivariate analysis, age, hemoglobin A1c, and histories of alcohol drinking and regular exercise were adjusted. In addition, BMI was adjusted in analysis of variables, except for waist-to-height ratio. Asterisks denote significant differences from nonsmokers (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01).
