Univariate correlations were performed by a general linear model analysis and Pearson’s correlation coefficients () were used to examine relationships between PEDF and clinical characteristics; ; was considered to be statistically related; BMI: body mass index; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance.
