  1. Categorical variables are presented as n (per cent) and were analysed between groups using the chi-square test; all continuous variables are expressed as mean ± standard deviation and were compared using the unpaired Student's t test.
  2. Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; MI, myocardial infarction; NS, not significant.
