Median values of HDL-C are 49 mg/dL for all subjects; 42 mg/dL for men; and 56 mg/dL for women. Median values of triglycerides are 112 mg/dL for all subjects; 121 mg/dL for men; and 108 mg/dL for women.

Multivariable-adjusted models were adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, waist circumference, active smoking, alcohol consumption, treatment of hypertension, hormone replacement therapy, and for non-HDL-C with HDL-C as the variable of interest and for non-triglyceride-related cholesterol with triglycerides as the variable of interest.
