Age- and sex-adjusted baseline levels of glucose, total cholesterol, and systolic and diastolic blood pressures (BPs) among Canadian regions in the Canadian REduction of Atherothrombosis for Continued Health (REACH) Registry

	Canada (n=1976)	British Columbia (n=164)	Prairies* (n=382)	Ontario (n=787)	Quebec (n=509)	Maritimes†(n=134)
Fasting glucose, mmol/L	6.8±0.06	6.5±0.22	6.9±0.14	6.8±0.10	6.6±0.12‡	7.6±0.22§
Total cholesterol, mmol/L	4.5±0.03	4.4±0.09	4.6±0.06	4.5±0.04	4.5±0.05	4.5±0.10
Systolic BP, mmHg	133.9±0.44	131.4±1.40	131.6±0.91‡	134.2±0.64	136.1±0.79§	130.3±1.54‡
Diastolic BP, mmHg	76.2±0.25	75.9±0.75	75.5±0.49	76.5±0.34	76.7±0.42	74.9±0.83

Data presented as mean ± SEM. The overall P-values across the regions were not significant for diastolic BP; therefore, no pair-wise comparisons were performed.
