NGHE National General Health Examination. According to the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III), normal HDL-C levels were defined as HDL-C ≥ 40 mg/dL in men and ≥50 mg/dL in women. Low HDL-C levels were defined as HDL-C levels of <40 mg/dL in men and <50 mg/dL in women. ∆HDL-C = [(HDL-C at follow-up) - (HDL-C at baseline)].
