  1. LDL, low-density lipoprotein.
  2. aAdjusted for age, sex, smoking status, alcohol intake, diabetes, body mass index, LDL-C level, and central corneal thickness. For systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, we have additionally adjusted for use of any antihypertensive medication.
  3. bHypertension was defined as use of any antihypertensive medication, systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg, and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg.
