LDL, HDL and VLDL particle diameter changes in relation to hemoglobin concentration in women and men. a Beta = Hemoglobin standardized coefficients. Women: LDL particle size p = 0.002, HDL particle size p < 0.001, VLDL particle size p = 0.029. Men: LDL particle size p < 0.001, HDL particle size p < 0.001, VLDL particle size p = 0.002. All values are adjusted for age, hs-CRP and LDL, HDL or VLDL NMR-measured particle concentration. b Beta = Hemoglobin standardized coefficients. Women: LDL particle size p = 0.002, HDL particle size p < 0.001, VLDL particle size p = 0.029. Men: LDL particle size p < 0.001, HDL particle size p < 0.001, VLDL particle size p = 0.002. All values are adjusted for age, hs-CRP, HOMA-IR and LDL, HDL or VLDL NMR-measured particle concentration
