  1. The p value < 0.05 was considered significant
  2. AIP Atherogenic index of plasma, TNF α tumor necrosis factor alpha, Model adjusted for OPG Osteoprotegerin. BRS Baroreflex sensitivity
  3. In the second line analysis was by stepwise regression where AIP and OPG are excluded in the regression model
