Positive Associations between Adipocyte Fatty Acid-Binding Protein Level and Central Arterial Stiffness in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Table 2

Multivariate logistic regression analysis of the factors correlated to aortic stiffness among 76 peritoneal dialysis patients.

Variables	Odds ratio	95% confidence interval	value
Adipocyte fatty acid binding protein, 1 ng/mL	1.110	1.042–1.183	0.001
Age, 1 year	1.231	1.079–1.405	0.002
Peritoneal dialysis vintage, 1 month	1.029	1.007–1.051	0.010
Fasting glucose, 1 mg/dL	1.012	0.999–1.026	0.076
C Reactive protein, 1 mg/dL	1.580	0.586–4.261	0.366

Analysis of data was done using the multivariate logistic regression analysis (adopted factors: age, peritoneal dialysis vintage, fasting glucose, C reactive protein, and adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein).  < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
