Data are given as mean ± standard deviation or number (%) unless otherwise noted.
Abbreviations: ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; Co., County; GGT, gamma-glutamyl transferase.
P value comparing trend of characteristics across the PA categories of Recommended, Intermediate, and Poor.
Median (25th to 75th percentile).
To convert 25(OH)D levels to nmol/L from ng/mL, multiply by 2.496. To convert the units of measure of total cholesterol, HDL-C, and LDL-C to mmol/L from mg/dL, divide by 38.67. To convert the unit of measure of triglyceride to mmol/L from mg/dL, divide by 88.57.
From ARIC visit 2 (1990 to 1992).
From ARIC visit 3 (1993 to 1995).
