Values are presented as mean ± standard error or number (%), unless otherwise indicated.
OHT = ocular hypertension, IOP = intraocular pressure, SBP = systolic blood pressure, DBP = diastolic blood pressure, HOMA-IR = homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, BMI = body mass index, WC = waist circumference, HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
aThe t-test, bThe χ2 test.
*P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
