Partial correlations are shown. All the correlations were adjusted for age and sex. VLDL: very low-density lipoprotein; IDL: intermediate-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; WBC: white blood cell; hs-CRP: high sensitivity C-reactive protein; ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
