Distribution of population according to the normal level of lipid profile and percentage of lipid profile.

Lipid profile		Percentage (%)	value	N
TC (mg/dl)	Normal (<200 mg/dl)	48.2	0.000	85
	Abnormal	51.8
TG (mg/dl)	Normal (< 135 mg/dl)	77.6	0.000	85
	Abnormal	22.4
LDL-C (mg/dl)	Normal (< 160 mg/dl)	32.9	0.000	85
	Abnormal	67.1
HDL-C (mg/dl)	Normal (> 40 mg/dl)	17.6	0.000	85
	Abnormal	82.4
AIP	Low (< 0.11)	60.0
	Moderate (0.11–0.21)	17.6
	High ( > 0.21)	22.4

Chi-square test at . LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein, TC = total cholesterol, TRIG = triglyceride, and HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein. Reference values: TC between 140 and 250 mg/dl; TG not greater than 150 mg/dl; HDL-C between 50 and 60 mg/dl. AIP = atherogenic index of plasma.
