Notes: N = total numbers in the specific age and sex group, C = cases (died in the study period more than one year after inclusion) and n = numbers in each LDL-C or numbers receiving statin after inclusion. 1Trig group < 1.0 mmol/L is the reference group and only the numbers in this group are therefore reported.
