Table 4. Association of APOE allele and retinal microvascular signs in whites
Asterisk beside ε2 indicates carriers of ε2 allele (ε2/ε2, ε2/ε3, and ε2/ε4) while asteriks beside ε4 denotes carriers of ε4 allele (ε3/ε4, ε4/ε4) ε3/ε3 is the referent category. Triple asterisk represents participants with diabetes have been excluded. Double asterisk indicates odds ratio (95% confidence intervals), adjusted for age, gender, fasting glucose (except for retinopathy), current smoking status, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total plasma cholesterol, and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
