Statistical characteristics of the subpopulation (n = 155) who are likely to benefit from TC testing.

To investigate variables that were different between the subpopulation and chosen subjects (N = 1066), significance testing was performed. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05) for all gender-stratified variables except male total cholesterol measurements (p = 0.0530; t-test), female diastolic blood pressure levels (p = 0.0672; t-test), female blood glucose measurements (p = 0.1355; t-test), and female smokers (p = 0.7484; Wilcoxon signed-rank test).
