Among the variables included in the univariate analysis (continuous variables: age, SBP, DBP, BMI, WC, HC, RMR, glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, apo B 100, creatinin, uric acid, insulin; categorical: “hypertriglyceridemia”), both the triglycerides and the condition of hypertriglyceridemia were correlated to RQ (r = 0.31; p = 0.050 and r = 0.36; p = 0.020 respectively). The gene discussed is INS; the disease is hypertriglyceridemia.
