^aCumulative R²
The multiple linear regressions were adjusted for age, gender, smoking status, BMI, anti-hypertensive and anti-diabetic treatments, the APOE rs429358 genotypes, the APOA5 rs662799 genotypes, the GCKR rs1260326 genotypes and the LPL rs13702 genotypes. Low CRP subgroups: subjects with CRP levels lower or equal to 0.62 mg/L
