Influence of Abdominal Obesity on the Lipid-Lipoprotein Profile in Apoprotein E2/4 Carriers: The Effect of an Apparent Duality

Figure 2

Estimated relative risk (odds ratio, OR) of hyperlipidemia associated with the apolipoprotein E genotype, among a subsample of 1,531 subjects. The ApoE2/4 genotype was considered as the reference group to which an odds ratio of one was set for comparison purposes. Odds ratio ± 95% CI. Covariates included in mode l are age, sex, type 2 diabetes, and BMI.

(a) OR of triglycerides > 1.7 mmol/L

(b) OR of LDL-cholesterol > 3.4 mmol/L

(c) OR of HDL-cholesterol < 0.9 mmol/L

(d) OR of non-HDL-cholesterol > 4.2 mmol/L

(e) OR of total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol > 5

(f) OR of VLDL-cholesterol/triglycerides >
