In addition, besides HDL‐C, LDL‐C, and ApoB, Lp‐PLA2 and CTRP‐3 covered into multivariate Cox proportional models and the results demonstrated that the abnormally expressed Lp‐PLA2 activity (HR = 1.007 [95% CI: 1.005–1.009], p < 0.001), CTRP‐3 (HR = 0.943 [95% CI: 0.935–0.954], p < 0.001) and ApoB (HR = 1.010 [95% CI: 1.001–1.019], p = 0.028) were significantly correlated with the occurrence of CVD in T2DM (Table 2). Here, APOB is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
