Partial correlation coefficients were estimated by the Pearson analysis adjusted for age, sex, and race. value ≤ 0.003 was considered significant after Bonferroni’s correction. BMI: body mass index; BP: blood pressure; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
