Distribution of population according to the normal level of lipid profile and percentage of lipid profile.
| Lipid profile | Percentage (%) | p value | N | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TC (mg/dl) | Normal (<200 mg/dl) | 48.2 | 0.000 | 85 |
| Abnormal | 51.8 | |||

| TG (mg/dl) | Normal (< 135 mg/dl) | 77.6 | 0.000 | 85 |
| Abnormal | 22.4 | |||

| LDL-C (mg/dl) | Normal (< 160 mg/dl) | 32.9 | 0.000 | 85 |
| Abnormal | 67.1 | |||
|

| HDL-C (mg/dl) | Normal (> 40 mg/dl) | 17.6 | 0.000 | 85 |

| AIP | Low (< 0.11) | 60.0 | ||
| Moderate (0.11–0.21) | 17.6 | |||
| High ( > 0.21) | 22.4 | |||
Chi-square test at p < 0.05. LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein, TC = total cholesterol, TRIG = triglyceride, and HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein. Reference values: TC between 140 and 250 mg/dl; TG not greater than 150 mg/dl; HDL-C between 50 and 60 mg/dl. AIP = atherogenic index of plasma.
