Correlations of circulating levels of Total-APN, HMW-APN, C1q-APN, C1q, HMW-APN/Total-APN, C1q-APN/Total-APN, C1q-APN/HMW-APN, and C1q-APN/C1q with age. Abbreviations as in Table 1. Relationships between two continuous variables were analyzed by Pearson’s correlation analysis. Solid lines: regression lines, Dotted lines: 95% confidence interval (CI) of predicted mean together with reference lines indicating the baseline for each adiponectin parameter and C1q levels (0% change).
