  1. Age adjusted means (95% CI limits) are presented for continuous variables and percent for categorical variables. Proportions (%) classified with undesirable levels are given with cut-off limits in parentheses
  2. Abbreviations: BMI body mass index, LDL low density lipoprotein, HDL high density lipoprotein, E% energy in per cent of total energy
  3. aData were collected from 1991 through 2016 and represent subjects without serum lipid, blood pressure or blood glucose lowering medication and no self-reported diabetes or myocardial infarction
  4. bData are from 2010 to 2016 when HDL and LDL were estimated in all participants. Before 2010 HDL and LDL were performed at risk indications. In total, HDL was measured in 18,240 women and 18,915 men, and LDL in 11,520 women and 11,978 men. The differences between all measurements and those after 2010 in mean values or proportions with undesirable values were modest
