  1. The ADSs of the suprainguinal elastic and infrainguinal muscular arteries were the dependent variables. The independent variables were all the continuous and nominal variables (dummy variables)
  2. aCL anticardiolipin antibody, ADS atherosclerosis distribution score, HbA1c glycated hemoglobin, Ig immunoglobulin, LA lupus anticoagulant
  3. *p, multiple linear regression analysis
