Gender and metabolic differences of gallstone diseases

Table 5 Multivariate logistic regression analysis for gallstone disease in gender

Variables	Men		Women
	OR	95% CI	OR	95% CI
BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2	-		1.59	1.01-2.50 (P = 0.046)
FBG ≥ 1260 mg/L	2.30	1.28-4.12 (P = 0.005)	-
Triglyceride ≥ 1500 mg/L	1.37	0.99-1.90 (P = 0.057)	2.17	1.54-3.07 (P < 0.001)

The dependent variable was the presence or absence of gallstone disease. The covariates included a BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m², high blood pressure (SBP ≥ 140 mmHg or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg or a history of hypertension), an FPG level between 1100 and 1260 mg/L and ≥ 1260 mg/L, a triglyceride level ≥ 1500 mg/L, a low HDL level (men: ≥ 350 mg/L; women: ≥ 390 mg/L), and a total cholesterol level ≥ 2200 mg/L.
