1 Optimal high-density lipoprotein cholesterol cutoff for predicting cardiovascular disease: Comparison of the Korean and US National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys  Joon Ho Moon, MD, Bo Kyung Koo, MD, PhD, Min Kyong Moon, MD, PhD  Journal of Clinical Lipidology  Volume 9, Issue 3, Pages (May 2015) DOI: /j.jacl Copyright © 2015 National Lipid Association Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) cutoffs to predict cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) and ischemic heart disease (IHD) in the Korean population. The ability of identifying the risk of CVA-IHD using different cutoff values of HDL-C. KNHANES, Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; NHANES, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

3 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.

4 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.
