HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; ApoAI: apolipoprotein AI; ApoB: apolipoprotein B; ApoAI/ApoB: the ratio of apolipoprotein AI to apolipoprotein B. The value of triglyceride was presented as median (interquartile range), and the difference between the two ethnic groups was determined by the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test.
