The best model for predicting the ABI value (R2 = 0.195) obtained from stepwise regression analysis included WC, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and CRP (Table 5), while the best model for the degree of the carotid artery stenosis (R2 = 0.112) included smoking and CRP (Table 6). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and coronary atherosclerosis measurement.
