Table 4.

Genotype distribution according to the presence of LPL HindIII and/or S447X polymorphisms.

Protective variants	Genotypes	TG1
No (N = 916)	H+H+447SS (n = 916)	1.17 (1.13 - 1.22)
One (N = 519)	H+H-447SS (n = 459)	1.11 (1.06 - 1.16)
	H-H-447SS (n = 56)
	H+H+447SX (n = 4)
Two (N = 390)	H+H-447SX (n = 284)	1.00 (0.95 - 1.06)2
	H-H-447SX (n = 76)
	H-H-447XX (n = 30)

H+ represents the most frequent allele of the HindIII variant and H- the least frequent allele. ¹Geometric means (mmol/L) and 95% confidence intervals. p < 0.0001 of ANOVA test. ²Significantly different as compared to groups carrying one or no protective variant.
