The Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) is a short structured diagnostic interview for DSM-IV and ICD-10 psychiatric disorders. With an administration time of approximately 15 min, it was designed to meet the need for a short but accurate structured psychiatric interview for multicenter clinical trials and epidemiology studies, and to be used as a first step in outcome tracking in non-research clinical settings (Sheehan et al.y 1998). 

Numerous clinical and epidemiological studies have demonstrated the inverse and independent association between HDL cholesterol and the risk of fatal and nonfatal coronary heart disease events. As a consequence, many national and international guidelines endorse the screening for low HDL cholesterol and define 1.05 mmol/1 (40 mg/dl) as the cardiovascular risk threshold value [18].
