All the presented aOR are significant at value < 0.05. Bold letters: value < 0.05. Proportion of the population with lipid disorders considered in the analysis. HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; TG: triglycerides; TC: total cholesterol; non-HDL: non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; BMI: body mass index; aOR: adjusted odds ratios; CI: confidence interval.value = 0.05. Note that age, FPG, BMI, and WC were modeled as continuous variables.
