  1. Regression coefficient represents the standard deviation change in apoB-48, as a result of 1 standard deviation change in the variable. The variables were presented in orders based on the strength of association (strong to weak) in the no MetS group. Cells represent: slope estimate (p-value for estimate, R2 for model after adjustment). Significant associations are in bold font
  2. aVariable use to determine the presence of MetS
