Comparison of Mean Levels of the Components of Lipid-Related Indices Among Non-, Occasional, and Regular Drinkers in Women with Hyperglycemia
| Component of lipid-related index | Drinkers |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Non | Occasional | Regular | |
| Waist-to-height ratio | |||
| Univariate | 0.543 (0.540 to 0.547) | 0.541 (0.535 to 0.548) | 0.516 (0.504 to 0.528)** |
| Multivariate | 0.543 (0.539 to 0.546) | 0.542 (0.536 to 0.548) | 0.519 (0.506 to 0.532)** |
| Log-triglycerides, mg/dL | |||
| Univariate | 2.053 (2.041 to 2.065) | 2.048 (2.026 to 2.069) | 2.011 (1.962 to 2.060) |
| Multivariate | 2.052 (2.040 to 2.064) | 2.047 (2.027 to 2.068) | 2.030 (1.986 to 2.074) |
| HDL-C, mg/dL | |||
| Univariate | 58.3 (57.6 to 59.0) | 60.5 (59.1 to 61.8)* | 69.7 (66.5 to 72.9)** |
| Multivariate | 58.2 (57.5 to 58.9) | 60.9 (59.7 to 62.1)** | 68.5 (65.9 to 71.0)** |
| LDL-C, mg/dL | |||
| Univariate | 130.8 (129.3 to 132.4) | 128.2 (125.6 to 130.8) | 121.0 (114.2 to 127.8)** |
| Multivariate | 130.7 (129.1 to 132.2) | 128.5 (125.8 to 131.2) | 122.5 (116.7 to 128.2)* |
Mean levels with 95% confidence intervals in parentheses of each variable in non-, occasional, and regular drinkers are shown. In multivariate analysis, age, hemoglobin A1c, and histories of smoking 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 nondrinkers (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01).
