Variable | Age (year) | TC (mg/dL) | LDL (mg/dL) | TG (mg/dL) | HDL (mg/dL) |
|---|
Normal | 42 (23–58) | 175 (156–199) | 99 (60–111) | 147 (70–162) | 41 (31–56) |
Hyperlipidaemia | 42 (26–58) | 223 (150–304)b
| 131 (63–190)c
| 166 (103–1181)d
| 46 (26–80) |
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) | 66 (58–78)a
| 166 (115–259) | 89 (44–174) | 92 (72–169) | 49 (37–75) |
- All patients and controls were male. N normal controls, H and CHD patients with hyperlipidaemia and coronary heart disease, respectively, TC total cholesterol, TG triglyceride, HDL high-density lipoprotein, LDL low-density lipoprotein
- Data are shown as medians (ranges). The differences in each variable between two groups (N vs. H, H vs. CHD, and N vs. CHD) were determined using the Mann–Whitney U test. The α level was set at <0.05 at a 95% confidence interval. The significantly different variables between groups are as follows
-
a Age of the patients with CHD was significantly more than N and H groups (p = 0.000)
-
b Levels of TC in H were significantly higher than those in N (p = 0.004) and CHD groups (p = 0.008)
-
c LDL levels in H was tended to higher than in N groups (p = 0.072), and significantly higher than in CHD group (p = 0.049)
-
d There was significant difference in TG levels; H > CHD (p = 0.013); N > CHD (p = 0.025)
