Validation of selected TICs. Displayed are mean values of eight clinical indicators of CHD and prevalence of hard CHD in "high-risk" (H) and "low-risk" (L) groups as defined by the TIC in question. sbp, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; CHL, cholesterol; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; TG, triglyceride; Bsug, blood sugar; BMI, body mass index.
