Multi-logistic regression analysis to determine the relationship between LDL-C/apoB ratio corresponding to sd-LDL and the presence or absence of DM and CAD. DM diabetes mellitus, CAD coronary artery disease, OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval. CAD (−) DM (−) group, n = 416; CAD (−) DM (+) group, n = 118; CAD (+) DM (−) group, n = 90; DM (+) CAD (+) group, n = 60. For this logistic regression analysis, an LDL-C/apoB ratio of 1.2 was deemed to correspond to an LDL particle size of 25.5 nm (the cutoff sd-LDL particle size) [9, 13, 14], and an LDL-C/apoB ratio of < 1.2 served as a dependent variable. Model 1: Unadjusted. Model 2: Adjusted for age and sex. Model 3: Adjusted for age, sex, hypertension (yes/no), cigarette smoking (yes/no), body mass index, statins use (yes/no), fibratses use (yes/no), and glitazones use, (yes/no)
