Table 4 Multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis for plasma homocysteine level

Variable	B	SRC	t	P value	95% CI for B
Variable	B	SRC	t	P value	Lower bound	Upper bound
HDL cholesterol level	−0.151	−0.232	−3.299	0.001	−0.241	−0.060
Diagnosis of MS	3.229	0.239	3.028	0.003	1.121	5.337
Systolic blood pressure	0.130	0.191	2.651	0.009	0.033	0.227
