Values are expressed as mean ± SD. International system conversion factors: to convert triglycerides to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0113; to convert high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.02586; to convert glucose to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.05551; to convert total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.02586.
