TC: total cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG: triglycerides; Lp(a): lipoprotein(a).a: Reference standard for ASCVD, primary prevention low-risk population only. Values listed in the table are lipid levels measured at 12-h fasting before the intervention. -: None. Lp(a) units are mg/L, the rest are mmol/L.
