The measurement data of normal distribution were expressed as mean ± SD. The measurement data of skewed distribution were expressed as median (p25 ~ p75), and the counting data were expressed as number of cases (%). BMI, body mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; FBG, fasting blood glucose; hsCRP, high sensitivity C reactive protein; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TC, cholesterol; UA, uric acid
