- Distribution (means and number (%)) of IHD and the confounders by category of TC/HDL-C at baseline, n = 6537. TC, total cholesterol; HDL, high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol; TC/HDL-C, total-cholesterol-to-HDL ratio; WHR, waist-hip-ratio; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure
