BMI indicates body mass index; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; and HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Plasma lipid values were determined from a single blood sample obtained at the time of recruitment for the study, before initiation of diets. To convert milligrams per deciliter cholesterol to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.02586. To convert milligrams per deciliter triglycerides to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.01129.
