Figure 1 LDL peak particle size (upper panel) and percentage small LDL (<22.8 nm) of total LDL (lower panel) in the two study groups (circles, placebo; squares, bezafibrate). LDL peak particle size and percentage small LDL were measured at baseline and at 2 and 5 years. Values are mean ± SD. Data were analyzed by two-way repeated measures ANOVA (LDL peak particle size: group p = 0.27, time p = 0.0003, interaction p = 0.001; percentage small LDL: group p = 0.76, time p < 0.0001, interaction p < 0.0001). *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 between values of the two study groups.
