Characterizations of reclassified individuals from the MORGEN cohort.

Abbreviations: TC = total cholesterol, HDL-C = HDL-cholesterol, SBP = systolic blood pressure.
Characteristics for the total reclassified groups and each subgroup are given as the mean (standard deviation) for continuous risk factors and as percentage for the dichotomous variables. For consistency, this representations was used for every group. However, for small groups these values may be uncertain.
a.The group of correctly upward reclassified individuals was, because of its small size, only subdivided in men and women.
b.HDL-C was not used in the cluster analysis.
c.Since the group of incorrectly downward reclassified individuals only included two individuals it was not further subdivided and parameter values were given for both individuals instead of means and standard deviations.
