Supplementary Figure 1 Histogram of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in the Korean (A) and US (B) populations. Each bar represents the weighted frequency of subjects at the corresponding HDL-C value, at 2 mg/dL intervals. The mean HDL-C values are listed in Table 1.

Supplementary Figure 2 Proportion of low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in each age group. The proportion of low HDL-C levels in men (A) and women (B) are presented in white bars for the Korean population and black bars for the US population. Low HDL-C was defined as <40 mg/dL for men and <50 mg/dL for women. Standard errors are annotated in each bar.
