In a similar model using ordinal logistic regression, Apo-A1 was the only independent determinant of the severity of MR (β = 6.1 ± 2.2, p = 0.007 after age, gender and waist circumference adjustment and β = 5.4 ± 2, p = 0.004 after age, gender and BMI correction). Here, APOA1 is linked to miotic rate.
