Data are from the combined 1999–2000 and 2001–2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Non-standard abbreviations are SBP, systolic blood pressure, TC, total lipoprotein cholesterol, SCr, serum creatinine, and CCr, estimated creatinine clearance. Values are regression coefficients (β) from univariate and multivariate linear models using log transformed total homocysteine (log tHcy) as the dependent variable. For simplicity, the intercept term was omitted from the table but was significant (P ≤ 0.0001) in all models. Female sex was used as the reference group.
