| High FG + (reduced HDL chol or elevated TG) | 0.87 (0.68–1.13) | 1.71 (1.20–2.44) |
| High FG + reduced HDL chol + elevated TG | 1.76 (1.14–2.71) | 4.43 (2.72–7.20) |
| HDL chol, TG and smoking status | ||
| Never smokers + high HDL chol + normal TG | 1 (Reference) | 1 (Reference) |
| Never smokers + (reduced HDL chol or elevated TG) | 1.03 (0.77–1.38) | 1.07 (0.83–1.38) |
| Smoking + (reduced HDL chol or elevated TG) | 1.57 (1.26–1.96) | 1.21 (0.75–1.94) |
| Smoking + (reduced HDL chol + elevated TG) | 1.89 (1.34–2.66) | 1.25 (0.30–5.17) |

HR adjusted by age, study survey year, education, BMI, total cholesterol level, triglycerides level, HDL cholesterol level, blood pressure, AH, FG level, smoking and physical activity habits.
