Correlation Between High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein and Reactive Oxygen Metabolites During A One-year Period Among Asymptomatic Subjects

Table

Table 1. The Correlation Between the Changes of the D-ROMs and HsCRP Levels During A One-year Period
 
D-ROMs (dependent factor)HsCRP (dependent factor)
r (P)β (P)r (P)β (P)
D-ROMs: diacron reactive oxygen metabolites; HsCRP: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; HDL: high-density lipoprotein. r: simple correlation test (Pearson’s test), β: multiple linear regression analysis, adjusted for all the measured factors. The triglycerides and hsCRP values were log-transformed because of their skewed distributions. Significance level: *P < 0.05.
