  1. TC: total cholesterol, LDL: low density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C: high density lipoprotein cholesterol. Hazard ratios indicate the increase risk for a 1 standard deviation increase of each lipid measures; adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, lipid lowering drug use, waist to hip ratio and positive family history of premature cardiovascular disease. The method of selection of the covariates is mentioned in statistics.
