HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; NHANES III: Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
* Data for 1488 eligible non-Hispanic White persons who were 35 to 74 years of age and had no vascular disease in their medical history. There were 10,507 non-Hispanic White persons in the NHANES III sample (out of 33,199 for all ethnicities). Persons <35 years of age (n = 4825), persons >74 years of age (n = 1658), those who fasted less than nine hours (n = 1841), those with a history of vascular disease (n = 262), and those with missing risk factor data (n = 433) were excluded.
