Distributions of fasting lipid measures in subjects. Each open circle represents a subject and the black line is the mean of the dataset. The green line or box represents the reference values for 18.5- to 65-year-old categories obtained from the Lipid Research Clinic (LRC) Program Population Studies [47]. The 90th percentile (triglycerides), 75th percentile (cholestrol and LDL-C), and 10th percentile (HDL-C) of the LRC datasets in different age groups were used for determining the reference values. Lower (triglycerides, total cholestrol, and LDL-C) or higher (HDL-C) concentrations than the reference values are desired for reducing the risk of coronary artery disease
