Abbreviations: CHD, coronary heart disease; CI, confidence intervals; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol; MI, myocardial infarction; IR, insulin resistance. IR was defined by the upper quartile of HOMA-IR levels in subjects without diabetes. Mean values ± SD of HDL-C and triglycerides are shown as mg/dL
