  1. Multivariate stepwise regression analysis was performed using 12 variables: hypertension, smoking, type of statin, insulin use, TC, TG, HDL-C, apolipoprotein AI, apolipoprotein B, EPA, DHA, and AA. Hypertension, smoking, pitavastatin, and insulin use was assigned a value of 1. Normotension, nonsmoking, pravastatin, and no insulin use was assigned a value of 0.
