: estimate; SE: standard error; PC: percentage change; CI: confidence interval; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; Apo-A: apolipoprotein A; Apo-B: apolipoprotein B; T2DM: type 2 diabetes mellitus. Notes: models for lipid parameters and T2DM model 1 were adjusted for age, sex, smoking and drinking status, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and body mass index. T2DM model 2 was adjusted for age, sex, smoking and drinking status, hypertension, coronary heart disease, body mass index, TC, TG, LDL-C, and HDL-C. values < 0.05 are shown in bold.
