Univariate all-cause mortality risks for sex-dependent quartiles of laboratory results included in the laboratory profile (n = 562).

Data represent hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals, calculated with the univariate Cox-proportional hazard model.
Laboratory results are divided into sex-dependent quartiles.
25th, 50th and 75th percentile limits of laboratory results stratified for sex:
Hemoglobin: male 12.5–13.4–14.2 g/dL; female 12.0–12.8–13.6 g/dL.
High-density lipoprotein cholesterol: male 35.5–42.5–51.7 mg/dL; female: 41.7–52.1–61.8 mg/dL.
Alanine transaminase: male 11–15–20 U/L; female: 11–14–17 U/L.
Albumin: male: 4.0–4.2–4.4 g/dL; female: 4.0–4.2–4.4 g/dL.
Creatinin clearance: male: 39.4–47.2–53.9 ml/min; female: 36.8–43.4–50.8 ml/min.
C-reactive protein: male: 2–4–8 mg/L; female: 1–4–8 mg/L.
Homocysteine: male: 1.47–19.8–25.6 mg/L; female: 15.0–17.9–22.8 mg/L.
