Distribution of lipid variables in the study population.
| Variable | Value | Number of subject (n) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean | SD | Median | IQR | Cut-off | Below cut-off | Above cut-off | Total | |
| TC (mmol/l) | 5.51 | 0.96 | 5.40 | 1.28 | ≥ 5.20 | 262 | 446 | 708 |
| TG (mmol/l) | 1.46 | 0.70 | 1.32 | 0.94 | ≥ 1.68 | 487 | 221 | 708 |
| HDL-C (mmol/l) | 1.26 | 0.26 | 1.21 | 0.36 | ≤ 1.03 | 572 | 136 | 708 |
| LDL-C (mmol/l) | 3.58 | 0.86 | 3.53 | 1.12 | ≥ 2.60 | 83 | 625 | 708 |
| TC/HDL ratio | 4.54 | 1.05 | 4.50 | 1.60 | ≥ 5.00 | 467 | 241 | 708 |
Abbreviation: HDL-C=high density lipoprotein cholesterol; IQR=interquartile range; LDL-C=low density lipoprotein cholesterol; SD=standard deviation; TC=total cholesterol; TG=triglyceride.
