PLA2G7 and type 2 diabetes mellitus: We found a statistically significant positive correlation between Lp-PLA2 and BMI (r=-0.347, p<0.001) and between Lp-PLA2 and HbA1c (r=0.347, p=<0.001), indicating that a high body mass index and poorly controlled T2DM further contribute to the increase in Lp-PLA2 activity [16].
