Figure 3
Proportion of dyslipidemia a) Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), b) Triglycerides (TG), c) Total cholesterol (TC), d) High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) classified based on gender and age categories (<50 years and ≥50 years).
Figure 4
Kernel density estimates of a) Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), b) Triglycerides (TG), c) Total cholesterol (TC), d) High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Lipid levels on x-axis, density estimates on y-axis. The insets represent kernel density estimates at extreme levels of lipids. Solid line indicates male and dotted line indicates female. Higher peaks reflect greater data points while lower densities reflect fewer data points in that area.
