The crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) are shown with their 95% confidence intervals indicated in the parentheses. The adjusted odds ratios for the high LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, high TG/HDL-C ratio, and high LAP of each drinker group vs. nondrinkers were calculated using age, smoking, regular exercise and drug therapy for diabetes as other explanatory variables. Body weight was also used as an explanatory variable to calculate the adjusted odds ratios for high LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and high TG/HDL-C ratio. Symbols denote significantly lower odds ratios compared with a reference level of 1.00 (*, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01). Marginally significant differences from the reference level (#, p = 0.060; ##, p = 0.077).
