Propensity score matching was performed on age at index, male, race (White), social economic status (persons with potential health hazards related to socioeconomic and psychosocial circumstances), lifestyles (tobacco use, nicotine dependence, alcohol related disorders), medical utilization (office or other outpatient services, hospital inpatient, and observation care services), comorbidities (including hypertensive diseases, ischaemic heart diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, atherosclerosis, overweight and obesity, diabetes mellitus, vitamin D deficiency, chronic lower respiratory diseases, neoplasms, diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism, anxiety, dissociative, stress-related, somatoform and other non-psychotic mental disorders, chronic kidney disease (CKD), diseases of liver, sleep disorders), and laboratory results (LDL-C in serum or plasma).
