Table 6 Relationship of plasma concentrations of Lp(a)-C to HDL-C before and after adjustments for other plasma lipoproteins (n = 121)

From: Lp(a)-cholesterol is associated with HDL-cholesterol in overweight and obese African American children and is not an independent risk factor for CVD

  1. 1Regression analyses were performed for models that included the covariates (child age, gender, pubertal stage and waist circumference), and with HDL-C entered alone (model IV) or with one of the other independent lipoprotein variables of interest (models V-IX)
  2. 2Significance: *** for p ≤ 0.001
  3. Abbreviations: Total cholesterol: TC, High density lipoprotein cholesterol: HDL-C, Very low density lipoprotein cholesterol: VLDL-C, Intermediate density lipoprotein cholesterol: IDL-C, Low density lipoprotein cholesterol: LDL-C, Triglycerides: TAG, Lp(a) cholesterol: Lp(a)-C
