 *High LDL-C is based on ATP III classification, in which the CHD risk was calculated from the WHO CVD risk chart.
Significant level: a ; b ; c .
values for comparison among age groups and among CHD risk stratification were -for trend
For comparison among regions: each region was compared with Bangkok.
