  1. Results are given as mean ±standard deviation (range) or n (percentage). Normal range (Triglyceride: 0.29-1.83 mmol/L; Cholesterol: 2.8-5.7 mmol/L; HDL-C: >0.9 mmol/L; LDL-C:<4.0 mmol/L; HbA1c: 4.5%-6.1%). CI = cerebrovascular infarction; HDL-C = high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low density lipoprotein cholesterol.
