  1. aThe subjects were divided into four groups (0, I, II, III) which had no, one, two, or or three and over risk factors such as aging, current smoking, diabetes, hypertension, hyper-LDL-cholesterolemia, hypo-HDL-cholesterolemia, and family history of atherosclerotic diseases.
  2. bThe subjects with diabetes were classified into category group III, even if they did not have any other risk factor.
  3. cData is presented as the mean ± SD or n (%), as indicated.
  4. dSignificant differences compared with Group 0 (*: P < 0.05, **: P < 0.01), compared with group I (#: P < 0.05,##: P < 0.01), compared with group II (§: P < 0.05, §§: P < 0.01).
  5. eLDL/HDL ratio indicates LDL cholesterol to HDL cholesterol ratio.
  6. fhs-CRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
  7. gALT, alanine aminotransferase.
  8. hAST, aspartate aminotransferase.
