  1. TG, triglyceride; TC, total cholesterol; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol.
  2. †Serum triglyceride measurements have a right-skewed distribution, so geometric mean and 95% confidence interval are calculated.
  3. ‡P value from linear regression.
