Table 5 Spearman’s correlation of LDL-C and sdLDL-C to inflammatory biomarkers and age

From: Predictive value of small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol for cardiovascular events in Chinese elder diabetes mellitus patients

Variables LDL-C sdLDL-C  
r P r P
age − 0.194 0.009 − 0.164 0.025
Triglycerides 0.171 0.018 0.323 0.001
HDL-C − 0.029 0.702 − 0.363 0.001
Non-HDL-C 0.563 0.001 0.588 0.001
RLP-C 0.406 0.011 0.521 0.001
HbA1c 0.024 0.802 0.061 0.431
ApoA-I − 0.035 0.704 − 0.301 0.001
ApoB 0.622 0.001 0.623 0.001
Lp (a) 0.252 0.008 0.027 0.831
  1. LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; sdLDL-C: small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; RLP-C: remnant lipoprotein cholesterol; HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c; ApoA-I: apolipoprotein A-I; ApoB: apolipoprotein B; Lp (a): lipoprotein (a)
  2. For the variable not follow normal distribution, Spearman’s rank correlation usually was used
