Lipid profile analyses of mean plasma levels Total Lipid (A) and Triglycerides (B) in women postmenopausal segregated by age (see 65-, women younger than 65 years-old; and 65+, women older 65 years-old)) and XbaI genotype (XX and xx). The effect of the genotypes was observed only in the older population ** T-test p<0.01 when compared to Xx women in the age group.

A: Linear regression graph comparing serum Total Lipids and age. Each lines slopes are significantly different (p = 0.015). Goodness of fit (r2): XX = 0.097; Xx = 0.007. B: Linear regression graph comparing serum Triglycerides and age. Each lines slopes are significantly different (p<0.05). Goodness of fit (r2): XX = 0.060; Xx = 0.002. C: Linear regression graph comparing serum Total Lipid and BMI. Each lines slopes are not significantly different (p>0.05). Goodness of fit (r2): XX = 0.072; Xx = 0.004. D: Linear regression graph comparing serum triglycerides and BMI. Each lines slopes are significantly different (p<0.05). Goodness of fit (r2): XX = 0.106; Xx = 0.017.
