Association of APOC3 genotype with triglyceride and HDL cholesterol by stratification for physical activity or BMI level. BMI, body mass index; HDL cholesterol, high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol; N.S., not significant; MET, metabolic equivalent. The median level of METs in the total population is 13.2 (h/day). Significance was tested using generalized linear model with Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons after adjusting for age, gender, area, total energy intake, physical activity, education level, smoking status, alcohol use, and BMI. Some variables included missing values. Circulating triglyceride was tested after log transformation. ^a,b The same lower-case letter means non-significant difference among groups.
