Positive correlation of serum adipocyte fatty acid binding protein levels with carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity in geriatric population

Table 4 Correlation between arterial stiffness among the 87 geriatric adults by multivariate logistic regression analysis

Variables	Odds ratio	95 % CI	P value
A-FABP (ng/mL) (each increase of 1 ng/mL)	1.833	1.123–2.993	0.015*
Diabetes	1.737	0.621–4.858	0.293
Hypertension	1.360	0.465–3.982	0.575
Body weight (kg) (each increase of 1 kg)	1.049	0.949–1.160	0.351
Waist circumference (cm) (each decrease of 1 cm)	0.970	0.895–1.052	0.463
BMI (kg/m²) (each increase of 1 kg/m²)	1.124	0.858–1.472	0.397
SBP (mmHg) (each increase of 1 mmHg)	1.022	0.988–1.057	0.207
DBP (mmHg) (each increase of 1 mmHg)	1.023	0.956–1.094	0.514

CI confidence Interval, A-FABP adipocyte fatty acid binding protein, BMI body mass index, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure
*P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant in the multivariate logistic regression analysis (adopted factors: diabetes, hypertension, body weight, waist circumference, BMI, SBP, DBP, pulse pressure and A-FABP)
