Table 1
Clinical and laboratory characteristics in the subjects based on the homocysteine quartile group
![lmo-6-221-i001](/upload/SynapseData/ArticleImage/0192lmo/lmo-6-221-i001.jpg)
P value derived from one-way ANOVA and χ2 test was used for intergroup comparison.
a, b, c, d: The same letters indicate a non-significant difference between groups based on Scheffe's multiple comparison test.
Abbreviations: Q, quartile; Hcy, homocysteine; BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, HDL-cholesterol; LDL-C, LDL-cholesterol; FBS, fasting blood sugar; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; hsCRP, high sensitivity C-reactive protein; CACS, coronary artery calcium score; CAD, coronary artery disease.

Characteristics of subjects with/without coronary plaque

P value derived from Student's t-test and χ2 test was used for comparing subjects with/without coronary artery plaques.
Abbreviations: Hcy, homocysteine; BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, HDL-cholesterol; LDL-C, LDL-cholesterol; FBS, fasting blood sugar; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; hsCRP, high sensitivity C-reactive protein; CACS, coronary artery calcium score; CAD, coronary artery disease.

This model was adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood lipid, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c level.
Abbreviations: OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; WC, waist circumference; SBP, systolic blood pressure; FBS, fasting blood sugar; Hcy, homocysteine; CACS, coronary artery calcium score.

P value derived from one-way ANOVA and χ2 test was used for intergroup comparison.
a, b, c, d: The same letters indicate non-significant differences between groups based on Scheffe's multiple comparison test.
Abbreviations: Hcy, homocysteine; BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, HDL-cholesterol; LDL-C, LDL-cholesterol; FBS, fasting blood sugar; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; hsCRP, high sensitivity C-reactive protein; CACS, coronary artery calcium score.
