*Data estimated from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999–2006). Hypertension was defined as current anti-hypertensive medication use, or systolic blood pressure ≥ 130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 80 mmHg; diabetes was defined as previous diagnosis of or current medication use for diabetes, or fasting plasma glucose concentration ≥ 126 mg/dl or non-fasting plasma glucose concentration ≥ 200 mg/dl; obesity was defined as body mass index ≥ 30.0 kg/m2
