BMI: body mass index; Hyperlipidaemic: cholesterol > 200 mg/dl, HDL: high-density lipoprotein; HDL-C: high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low density lipoprotein cholesterol. P value of the association of the typical differences and the probability of being a discordant patient (SCORE non-high-D'AGOSTINO high; SCORE high-D'AGOSTINO non-high). Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation or as number and percentages.
