LDL, low-density lipoprotein; sdLDL, small dense low-density lipoprotein; sdLDLC/LDLC ratio, ratio of small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to total low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Correlation coefficients were estimated after adjustment for age and sex. *P < 0.050; **P < 0.010; ***P < 0.001.
