In a multivariate logistic regression model, which was constructed using age, BMI, diabetes, hypertension eGFR, proteinuria, total cholesterol, HDL‐cholesterol, and Lp(a) level (log‐transformed Lp(a) was used in the model due to skewed distribution), the Lp(a) level was found to be an independent predictor of CAD in both men and women (men: OR: 1.36, 95% CI: 1.030–1.810, p = 0.03; women: OR: 2.0206, 95% CI: 1.464–3.324, p < 0.001, per 10‐fold Lp(a) level increment). Here, LPA is linked to diabetes mellitus.
