  1. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. CM cholesterol and triglyceride levels are expressed as median and interquartile range. The values are compared between the groups by the t-test and Mann–Whitney U test as appropriate.
  2. Abbreviations: ABI, ankle-brachial index; High-ABI group, group of patients with high ABI (ABI>0.9); Low-ABI group, group of patients with low ABI (0.9 or low); CM, chylomicron; VLDL, very-low-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein.
