Furthermore, the plasma triglycerides-to-HDL ratio, a known marker for metabolic syndrome and highly atherogenic dyslipidemia,[ 18 ] showed a highly significant correlation with mFD (r = 0.480, p = 0.002).

borderline significantp = 0.07so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

Age showed a borderline significant positive correlation with mFD (r = 0.245, p = 0.07) and no correlation with gFD (r = -0.169, p = 0.31).

did not reach statistical significancep = 0.11not close (p > 0.1)

Plaque that were visually categorized as irregular had a higher mFD when compared to those considered regular, but the difference did not reach statistical significance (1.143±0.038 vs 1.124±0.039, p = 0.11).
