Values represent mean ± standard deviation. Sex difference by generation have been tested on transformed variables, when applicable, using the t-test: * 0.05 ≥ p > 0.01; ** 0.01 ≥ p > 0.001; *** 0.001 ≥ p > 0.0001. Numbers of subjects are in parentheses. See text for details.
Abbreviations: C, cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; VLDL, very-low-density lipoprotein
