HDL: high-density lipoprotein; SD: standard deviation.

Model 1: age was used as time-scale, adjusted for geographical region. Model 2: additionally, adjusted for total cholesterol (log), HDL-cholesterol (log), systolic blood pressure (log), hypertension medication, known diabetes, smoking status, waist-hip-ratio, and time of day of the blood draw.
