In the model adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity and poverty-to-income ratio compared with group 1 (Low LDL-C, Low ApoB), the OR (95% CI) for CKD was 1.09 (1.06–1.11 for group 3 (High LDL-C, Low ApoB); 1.18 (1.10–1.34) for group 4 (High LDL-C, High ApoB) and 1.80 (1.25–1.90) for group 2 (Low LDL-C, High ApoB). Here, APOB is linked to chronic kidney disease.
