  1. Data are medians and ranges. Lipids are fasting plasma concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), non-HDL, and triglycerides (TG). Significant P-values reflect differences between the population-based cohort and the TCOC cohort for each sex. *P < 0.05. **P < 0.0001
