Table 3.
Prevalence of different forms of atherogenic dyslipidemia in study groups
| Sample group | High TC/HDL-C ratio, % (n) | High TG/HDL-C ratio, % (n) | High sdLDL % (n) | Pattern B % (n) | High erythrocyte C/P ratio % (n) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normolipidemic group (n = 64) | 20 (13)a*** | 16 (10)a | 6 (4)a | 0 (0)a | 0 (0)a |
| Hypercholesterolemic group (n = 42) | 64 (27)b*** | 12 (5)a | 26 (11)b* | 7 (3)b* | 15 (6)b** |
| Mixed-type dyslipidemic group (n = 42) | 98 (41)c*** | 100 (42)b*** | 50 (21)b*** | 17 (7)b** | 15 (6)b** |
The 75th percentiles of sdLDL, pattern B, EMC, and proportions of TC/HDL-C and TG/HDL-C were assumed as a cutoff for defining elevated levels of these variables
