Table 3.

Changes in blood pressure and fasting plasma glucose between baseline and follow-up.

Variables	Overall changes (95%CI)	Within-group changes		Between-group net changes (95%CI)
Variables	Overall changes (95%CI)	BP and FPG not improved at follow-up	BP or FPG improved at follow-up	Between-group net changes (95%CI)
Systolic BP (mmHg)	2.31 (2.04 to 2.59)^a	9.03 (8.62 to 9.43)^a	−0.19 (–0.51 to 0.13)	9.22 (8.65 to 9.79)^a
Diastolic BP (mmHg)	0.73 (0.54 to 0.92)^a	5.97 (5.72 to 6.23)^a	–1.23 (–1.43 to –1.02)^a	7.20 (6.82 to 7.58)^a
FPG (mmol/L)	0.12 (0.09 to 0.15)^a	0.84 (0.78 to 0.90)^a	–0.15 (–0.18 to –0.11)^a	0.99 (0.92 to 1.06)^a

BP, blood pressure; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; SD, standard deviation; CI, confidence interval.

^{^a}

Within-group changes with P value less than 0.001. The paired t test was used to compare the changes in blood pressure and fasting plasma glucose between baseline and follow-up within each subgroup. The independent two-sample t test was used to compare the within-group changes for patients with and without improved outcomes at follow-up.
