Values are shown as mean ± standard deviation or number (percentage). CVD: cardiovascular disease; FH: family history; DM: diabetes mellitus; BMI: body mass index; FBS: fasting blood sugar; HDL-C: high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low density lipoprotein cholesterol; CK: total creatine kinase; CK-MB: creatine kinase isoenzyme MB fraction; LDH: lactate dehydrogenase. Two-sided chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests were used.
