a
Mean ± standard deviation. Comparison was made by one-way analysis of variance and post hoc Tukey test for independent samples in the continuous quantitative variables.
b
Statistical differences (P < 0.05) vs. increased risk group.
HDL-C indicates high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; VLDL-C, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
