Ten-year risk of developing (a) hypercholesterolemia and (b) hypertriglyceridemia among participants in the Västerbotten Intervention Programme. Risk is presented as a function of age at the start of the 10-year period and education, adjusted for baseline levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.

Note: The 30-year cohort during 1996–2000 is not presented as only few individuals were invited to the study since 1995. The 10-year risk was estimated using the predicted probability after logistic regression analysis for each sex, controlling for age and educational level.
