  1. LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; sdLDL-C: small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; RLP-C: remnant lipoprotein cholesterol; HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c; ApoA-I: apolipoprotein A-I; ApoB: apolipoprotein B; Lp (a): lipoprotein (a)
  2. For the variable not follow normal distribution, Spearman’s rank correlation usually was used
