  Figure 1. (A) Simplified evaluation sheet for estimating 10-year risk of ICVD incidence in men. (B) Simplified evaluation sheet for estimating 10-year risk of ICVD incidence in women. ICVD, ischemic cardiovascular disease; SBP, systolic blood pressure; BMI, body mass index; TC, total cholesterol.

  Figure 2. (A) Decreases in ICVD total score 6 months post-operation compared with pre-operation; (B) Decreases in ICVD 10-year risk 6 months post-operation compared with pre-operation; (C) Improvements in TG, TC, LDL, sd-LDL and HDL 6 months post-operation compared with pre-operation. (D) Decreases in the OGTT 6 months post-operation compared with pre-operation. (E) Decreases in IRT 6 months post-operation compared with pre-operation. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 post-operation vs. pre-operation ICVD, ischemic cardiovascular disease; TG, triglyceride; TC, total cholesterol; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; sd-LDL, small dense-low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; OGTT, oral glucose tolerance test; IRT, insulin release test. N = 107, continuous variables were expressed as the means ± standard deviations or medians and interquartile ranges. The differences in ICVD total score and ICVD 10-year risk between pre-operative group and post-operative group were evaluated by Wilcoxon's signed rank test. The paired-sample t-test was used to compare pre- and post-operative levels of TC, HDL, LDL, sdLDL, TG, OGTT and IRT.

(A) Correlation of ΔICVD total score with %EBMIL; (B) Correlation of ΔICVD total score with ΔBAI; (C) Correlation of ΔICVD total score with ΔLDL; (D) Correlation of ΔICVD total score with Δsd-LDL; (E) Correlation of ΔICVD total score with ΔTG. Δvalues were obtained by subtracting the 6-month value from the pre-operative value; ICVD, ischemic cardiovascular disease; %EBMIL, percent excess body mass index loss; BAI, body adiposity index; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; sd-LDL, small dense-low-density lipoprotein; TG, triglyceride. N = 107, Spearman correlation analysis as a nonparametric measure was used to examine the relationships between ΔICVD total score and %EBMIL, ΔBAI, ΔLDL, Δsd-LDL, ΔTG.
