TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; ApoAI, apolipoprotein AI; ApoB, apolipoprotein B. The quantitative variables were presented as mean ± standard deviation and their difference between the groups was determined by the t-test. The values of triglyceride were presented as median (interquartile range), and their difference between the groups was determined by the Wilcoxon-Mann–Whitney test. The difference in Percentages of cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption between the groups was determined by Chi-square -test.
