Serum Osteopontin Level Correlates with Carotid-Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity in Geriatric Persons
Table 4
Multivariable stepwise linear regression analysis of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity among 93 geriatric adults.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Data of osteopontin levels showed skewed distribution and therefore were log-transformed before analysis. was considered statistically significant in the multivariable stepwise linear regression analysis (adopted factors: diabetes, dyslipidemia, age, waist circumference, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, HDL-C, creatinine, GFR, and log-OPN). HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; OPN, osteopontin. |
