Figure 1.. Age-Adjusted Total Cholesterol, Triglyceride, and Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) Trends for US Adults Aged 20 Years and Older, 1999 to 2014
A, Predicted total cholesterol levels and 95% confidence intervals in a sample size of 39 049. B, Predicted log-transformed triglyceride levels and 95% confidence intervals; log-transformed values were exponentiated after the regression, sample size of 17 406. C, Predicted LDL-C levels and 95% confidence intervals in a sample size of 17 096. Figure generated using marginal standardization from age-adjusted linear regression models. Data source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/National Center for Health Statistics, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. SI conversion factors: To convert LDL-C to micromoles per liter, multiply by 0.0259; to convert total cholesterol to micromoles per liter, multiply by 0.0259; to convert triglycerides to micromoles per liter, multiply by 0.0113.
