ROC receiver operating characteristic, AUC area under curve, D-AUC differential area under curve. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation or percentage. LDL-C low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL/HDL the ratio of low-density-lipoprotein to high-density-lipoprotein
