Comparisons between multiple groups were used by analysis of variance. Proportions were analyzed by χ2-test. * vs Group 1, P < 0.05; # vs Group 2, P < 0.05. Group 1: subjects with normal TG and LDL-C; Group 2: subjects with normal TG and hyper-LDL-C; Group 3: subjects with hypertriglyceridemia and normal LDL-C; Group 4: subjects with hypertriglyceridemia and hyper-LDL-C.
