  1. The lower quantification limits for triglycerides was 0.8 mmol/L and it was 3.00 mmol/L for total cholesterol. The upper quantification limit for total cholesterol was 6.8 mmol/L. Not all blood samples could be analysed for triglycerides or cholesterol. The waist circumference is expressed as mean (95% CI). The remaining values are expressed as median (interquartile range). Adjusting for age did not affect the results
