  1. Dyslipidemia was defined as total cholesterol (TC) > 6.22 mmol/L or low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) > 4.14 mmol/L or high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) < 1.04 mmol/L or triglycerides (TG) > 2.26 mmol/L or non-high density lipoprotein > 4.9 mmol/L or self-reported treatment. Data shown as mean ± SD, or median (IQR) or n (%). *p-value for comparison of dyslipidemia vs. normal subjects. Men (M), Women (W). Unmarried (widowed/divorced/others).
