Table 3. Correlation of compliance by MMAS-8 and the pill count method with extended lipid profile and HMGCoA-R.
MMAS = Morisky medication adherence scale; TC = total cholesterol; TG = triglyceride; LDL = low-density lipoprotein; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; HMGCoA-R = 3-hydroxyl-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase; ApoA1 = Apolipoprotein A1; ApoB = Apolipoprotein B
