Data are presented as n (%) or mean (SD).
The numbers of measurements for intervention and usual care were 889 and 590, respectively, for HbA1c, respectively, 22 and 19, respectively, for fasting blood glucose, 0 and 12, respectively, for non-fasting glucose, 605 and 428, respectively, for serum LDL-cholesterol.
a Systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg.
b HbA1c ≥ 7.0 %; if HbA1c was not available, fasting blood glucose ≥ 7.2 mmol/L (≥ 130 mg/dL); if fasting blood glucose level was not available,
non-fasting blood glucose ≥ 10.0 mmol/L (≥ 180 mg/dL).
c Serum LDL cholesterol ≥ 4.7 mmol/L (≥180 mg/dL).
The number of missing entries for drinking status was 10 in the usual care group.
