^∗High-risk LDL-P contains very small, small, and medium LDL particles. Abbreviations: HDL: high-density lipoprotein; HDL-P: high-density lipoprotein particles; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; IDL-P: intermediate-density lipoprotein particles; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; LDL-P: low-density lipoprotein particles; VLDL-P: very low-density lipoprotein particles.
