The crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) are shown with their 95% confidence intervals indicated in the parentheses. The odds ratios vs. nondrinkers for ≥ 1, ≥ 2 or 3 high indices from the high LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, high TG/HDL-C ratio and high LAP in each drinker group were calculated. In the multivariate analysis, age, smoking, regular exercise and drug therapy for diabetes were used as other explanatory variables. Symbols denote significantly lower odds ratios compared with a reference level of 1.00 (*, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01). A marginally significant difference from the reference level (#, p = 0.091).
