Lipid status according to respiratory function at time of blood sampling
| β | p Value | FVC <70 (n=76) | FVC ≥70% (n=227) | |
| Total cholesterol | 0.16 | 0.01* | 5.3 (1.2) | 5.5 (1.1) |
| HDL | 0.04 | 0.5 | 1.6 (0.5) | 1.5 (0.4) |
| LDL | 0.16 | 0.01* | 3.0 (1.0) | 3.3 (0.9) |
| LDL/HDL ratio | 0.07 | 0.2 | 2.1 (1.1) | 2.3 (0.9) |
Values are mean (SD). The β coefficient was calculated by linear regression.
↵* p<0.05.
FVC, functional vital capacity percentage of predicted; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein.
