Full-model logistic regression analysis of various lipid parameters (as independent variables) and target organ damage: Logistic regressions were performed to investigate the association of: (I) arterial stiffening, (II) peripheral artery disease (PAD) and (III) chronic kidney disease (CKD) with one-SD increment of various lipid parameters respectively. The potential confounders including age, gender, smoke, BMI, fasting blood glucose, systolic blood pressure and lipid lowering therapy, together with lipid parameters, were forced into respective models. Black circles were used to highlight the odds ratios achieving statistical significance, and while circles represented the odds ratios not achieving statistical significance. Only non-HDL and TC/HDL significantly associated with all target organ damage. Arterial stiffening was defined as pulse wave velocity over 10 m/s. PAD was defined as ankle-brachial index less than 0.9, and CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate less than 60 mL/min/1.73m2. TC: total cholesterol. TG: triglycerides. HDL: high density lipoprotein. LDL: low density lipoprotein
