| Non-DM | 4.60 (0.97) | 5.01 (1.09) | ||
| TG, mmol/L | <0.001 | <0.001 | ||
| DM | 1.97 (1.31) | 2.23 (1.64) | ||
| Non-DM | 1.55 (1.22) | 1.81 (1.13) | ||
| HDL-C, mmol/L | <0.001 | 0.035 | ||
| DM | 1.25 (0.37) | 1.45 (0.54) | ||

TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol. P-value indicated the statistical significance to compare the differences of the lipids levels between DM groups and non-DM groups.
