Thresholds Used for the Definition of SMuRF/SMuRFless Status
Risk Factor | Definition for SMuRF Positive |
---|---|
Hypertension | SBP ≥140 mm Hg or DBP ≥90 mm Hg |
Diabetes mellitus | HbA1c ≥ 6.5% or fasting BGL ≥7.0 mmol/L or OGTT 2-h BGL >11.1 mmol/L |
Hypercholesterolemia | TC >5.5 mmol/L LDL-C >3.5 mmol/L |
Cigarette smoking | Current smoker (smoking within 12 months) |
BGL = blood glucose level; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; HbA1c = glycosylated hemoglobin; LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; OGTT = oral glucose tolerance test; SBP = systolic blood pressure; SMuRF = standard modifiable risk factor; TC = total cholesterol.
