Abbreviations: LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; VO2, volume of oxygen consumed

SI conversions: To convert LDL-C and HDL-C to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0259. To convert triglycerides to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0113. To convert glucose to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0555.
