Data are presented as the number of cases with percentages in brackets. ATP III: Adult Treatment Panel III (Third Report of the Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults), HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein. P values were calculated using the McNemar's test for symmetry. Numbers of missing values smaller than four are not reported.
