Clinical biochemical indexes associated with atherosclerosis.

Normally distributed data were presented as means ± standard deviation (SD), skewed data were presented as the median (interquartile range). Clinical parameters were evaluated to determine an association with the presence of atherosclerosis using the t test or the Mann–Whitney U test.符合正态分布的数据以均值±标准差（SD）的形式呈现，偏态分布数据则以中位数（四分位数间距）的形式呈现。采用t检验或曼-惠特尼U检验对临床参数进行分析，以明确其与动脉粥样硬化发生情况的关联。
