The data are shown as . Categorical data, including gender, smoking status, and other data, were tested using chi-square tests, and measurement data, such as BMI, age, and blood lipid level, were tested using -tests between the cases and controls in each population; CAD: coronary artery disease; DM: diabetes mellitus; BMI: body mass index; Tch: total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; HDL-c: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Age for the case group is the age at diagnosis; age for the control group is the age at enrollment.
