TABLE 3.

Mean plasma lipid/lipoprotein concentration according to HDL subclass pattern (IxDGUC %HDL2)

Plasma Lipid/Apolipoprotein	Pattern I	Pattern II	Pattern III	One-way ANOVA between Groups (P)
	>60%	40–60%	<40%
	N = 105	N = 161	N = 282
T-CHOL (mmol/l)	5.63	5.60	5.62	NS
TAG (mmol/l)	1.18	1.37	1.68	<0.0001
HDL-C (mmol/l)	1.70	1.43	1.23	<0.0001
LDL-C (mmol/l)	3.40	3.54	3.63	0.034
ApoA-I (g/l)	1.38	1.22	1.13	<0.0001

Samples were grouped into three clusters according to %HDL₂. Significant differences were observed between groups for TG, total HDL-C, LDL-C, and apoA-I. The mean values for T-CHOL, TAG, HDL-C, LDL-C, and apoA-I are presented for each of the HDL subclass patterns.
