Elevated levels of preβ1-high-density lipoprotein are associated with cholesterol ester transfer protein, the presence and severity of coronary artery disease

Table 4 Stepwise multiple linear regression analyses of factors affecting preβ1-HDL levels in CAD patients

	Unstandardized coefficients		Standardized coefficient	P value
	B	SE	Beta	P value
Independent variables in the model
Constant
TC	8.448	1.917	0.371	0.000
CETP^a	2.706	1.216	0.187	0.028
Independent variables excluded from model
TG^a			0.086	0.354
LDL-C^a			−0.045	0.743

The dependent variable was preβ1-HDL (adjusted R² = 0.199). TC, TG, LDL-C, Ox-LDL and CETP were used for independent variables
^aThese variables were log-transformed before analyses
