Adjusted mean (standard error) of total cholesterol (A), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (B), and triglycerides (C), by menopausal status stratified on baseline weight tertile, Study of Women's Health Across the Nation, 1995–2004. Weight tertiles: first (37.6–62.4 kg); second (62.5–78.0 kg); third (78.1–175.4 kg). P values for differences by menopausal status within specific weight tertiles: in A, P < 0.0001 for tertiles 1 and 2 and P < 0.01 for tertile 3; in B, P < 0.0001 for tertiles 1 and 2 and P < 0.01 for tertile 3; in C, P < 0.0001 for tertiles 1 and 2 and P = not significant for tertile 3. For A, B, and C, the interaction of baseline weight tertile and menopausal status was P < 0.0001.
