p for trend: ^*** p < 0.001, ^** p < 0.010 ^* p < 0.05 (two tailed) compared to other subgroups within a category using ANOVA; the group means between male and females were compared using Student’s t-test. Dyslipidemia was diagnosed using NCEP ATP III guidelines- hypercholesterolemia: total cholesterol (TC) ≥200 mg/dl; hypertriglyceridemia: triglycerides (TG) ≥150 mg/dl; low HDL cholesterol (HDL-C): HDL-C < 40 mg/dl (both males and females); high LDL cholesterol (LDL-C): LDL-C ≥ 100 mg/dl; high total cholesterol: HDL-C ratio ≥5; High non-HDL-C: non-HDL-C > 130 mg/dl; High apolipoprotein B (ApoB): ApoB > 90 mg/dl; mixed dyslipidemia: when one or more of these lipid parameters were above the cut off values mentioned above
