FABP4 and metabolic syndrome: Simple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that plasma A-FABP, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, renal dysfunction, hsCRP, and the uses of ACEI/ARBs, CCBs, β-blockers and statins were significant factors associated with the presence of CAD; however, multiple logistic regression analysis including all significant variates revealed that plasma A-FABP was not an independent factor associated with CAD.
