Table 3 Results from multiple logistic regression analysis that evaluated socio-demographic, lifestyle, biological, clinical baseline characteristics in relation to 5-year incidence of hypercholesterolemia, in the ATTICA study participants.

From: Abdominal obesity, blood glucose and apolipoprotein B levels are the best predictors of the incidence of hypercholesterolemia (2001–2006) among healthy adults: the ATTICA Study
