SD Standard deviation, TG Triglyceride, LDLC Low density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDLC High density lipoprotein cholesterol, TC Total cholesterol, BMI Body mass index, HTG Hypertriglyceridemia, T2D type 2 diabetes

^aExcluded one individual on fibrates (n = 1)

^bFor individuals on statin medications, LDLC and TC levels were divided by 0.7 and 0.8, respectively, as in previous studies [8, 9, 32]

^cRecorded at the date of TC measurement to the nearest 0.1 years

^dMild-moderate HTG is defined as having a TG level between 1.7–10 mmol/L. For this row only, there are n = 74 males and n = 149 total

^eDefined as schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder
