  1. Abbreviation: ABCA1, adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A1.
  2. R2 of the model=33.3%. ABCA1 mRNA expression was negatively transformed logarithmically before analysis. Gender was entered as a categorical variable (male=1, female=2), smoking (no=0, yes=1), alcohol drinking (no=0, yes=1). Those factors shown in bold reached statistical significance.
