Variable	Median		IQR		p-values
	Rural/SANSCOG	Urban/TLSA	Rural/SANSCOG	Urban/TLSA
TC	178	185.3	50.5	66.2	< 0.01
TG	141	132.6	98	81.4	> 0.05
LDL-c	109.3	114.5	42	59.1	> 0.05
HDL-c	38.7	45.8	12.8	14.4	< 0.001

IQR Interquartile range, TC Total Cholesterol, TG Triglyceride, LDL-c Low density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-c High density lipoprotein cholesterol. Medians with IQR were compared using the Mann–Whitney U test.
