Non-risk allele (minor allele), heterozygote allele, risk allele (major allele) in each SNP were counted as 0, 1 and 2 and the scores of 4 selected SNP were added and GRS from 2 SNP of LDLR, 1 SNP of APOB and 1 SNP of PCSK9 was divided into three categories (0–1, 2–3 and 4–8) as the Low-GRS, Medium-GRS and High-GRS, respectively. Reference was the Low-GRS (n4666). Multivariate regression models include the corresponding main effects, interaction terms of GRS and lifestyles including nutrient intake and potential confounders such as BMI, residence area, gender, age, smoking, physical activity, energy, carbohydrate (CHO), fat, protein, cholesterol, coffee and alcohol intake and serum total cholesterol concentrations.

The cut-off points were as follows: ‡0·146 factor for balanced Korean diet, §0·09 factor for Western flour-rich diet, ‖0·07 factor for rich-based diet, ¶estimated energy intake, ††70 energy % CHO, ‡‡13 energy % of protein, §§15 energy % fat, ‖‖10 g alcohol per day, ¶¶1 cup of coffee per day; †††smoking status and ‡‡‡90 min physical activity per day.

Significantly different from the major allele in logistic regression analysis at * P < 0·05, ** P < 0·01, *** P < 0·001.
