Values are in mean and standard error obtained by age, BMI adjusted analysis of covariance. For HDLc*, values are further adjusted by alcohol intake/day. SFA = dietary saturated fatty acid, KeysF = Keys dietary lipid factor, TC = serum total cholesterol concentration, TG = triglycerides concentration, HDLc = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration, LDLc = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration.
