Data are expressed as geometric mean. Data (95% CI) in tables are estimated from linear regression models with adjustments for age, sex, and smoking status (model 1), as well as additionally for HOMA-IR (log-transformed), antidyslipidemic medication use, and antihyperglycemic medication use (model 2), and additionally for small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C) (log-transformed) (model 3).
