P- value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Academic staff | Isolated hypertriglyceridemia | 35.5 | 31.6 | 45.2 | 0.027 |
| Isolated hypercholesterolemia | 8.9 | 10.1 | 6.0 | 0.256 | |
| Isolated low HDL | 29.6 | 30.9 | 26.2 | 0.423 | |
| Mixed dyslipidemia | 14.2 | 14.0 | 14.3 | 0.951 | |
| Students | Isolated hypertriglyceridemia | 24.9 | 28.9 | 18.2 | 0.085 |
| Isolated hypercholesterolemia | 11.3 | 10.2 | 13.2 | 0.525 | |
| Isolated low HDL | 29.3 | 27.3 | 32.5 | 0.435 | |
| Mixed dyslipidemia | 14.1 | 19.5 | 5.2 | 0.004 |
P-values are obtained from the chi-square test. Isolated hypertriglyceridemia (Isolated hyperTG): TG ≥ 150 mg/dL and TC < 200 mg/dL; isolated hypercholesterolemia (Isolated hyperTC): TC ≥ 200 mg/dL and TG < 150 mg/dL; isolated low HDL-C: HDL-C ≤ 40 mg/dL in men and ≤ 50 mg/dL in women without hypertriglyceridemia or hypercholesterolemia and Mixed hyperlipidemia: TG ≥ 150 mg/dL and TC ≥ 200 mg/dL (National Cholesterol Education Program, ATP III, 2001)
