Results are given mean±SD or n (%).
*Values of fasting triglycerides did not follow Gaussian distribution, thus medium and interquartile ranges were used instead of mean and SD to describe central and discrete tendency.
HDL-c, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
