  1. Data are presented as medians (interquartile ranges). BMI: body mass index, TC: total cholesterol, TG: triglycerides, AUC: area under the curve, i-AUC: incremental AUC, HDL: high density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL: low density lipoprotein cholesterol, Apo A: apolipoprotein A, Apo B: apolipoprotein B, Lp (a): lipoprotein (a), Glu: glucose, hFH: heterozygotes for familial hypercholesterolaemia.
  2. *: All comparisons between cases and controls are age-adjusted.
