  1. Data are presented as numbers and percentages (%) or mean (standard deviation). p value was calculated using the Independent Samples t test for continuous variables and the Chi-Square test or the Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables as appropriate. HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, TC total cholesterol, TG triglycerides
  2. *p value < 0.05 was considered significant
