  1. LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein. r: Pearson's correlation coefficient between oxidized Lipoprotein(a) and another variable, β: multiple linear regression coefficient in a multivariate analysis adjusted for age and the following variables: body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, insulin, C-reactive protein. Triglyceride, insulin, lipoprotein(a) and oxidized lipoprotein(a) were calculated after a log-transformation, because of their skewed distributions. Significance level: * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01.
