Control of Vascular Risk Factors in WASID

Risk Factor	Baseline	Year 1 visit
SBP ≥ 140 mm Hg	51%	49.9%
Cholesterol ≥ 200 mg/dL	50%	37%*
LDLc ≥ 100 mg/dL	71%	58%*
LDLc ≥ 70 mg/dL	94%	88%**
HDLc < 40 mg/dL	40%	33%**
Triglyceride ≥ 200 mg/dL	26%	31%
Hemoglobin A1C > 7% †	64%	56%
Smoking	21%	17%***
No alcohol	55%	68%*

SBP indicates systolic blood pressure; LDLc, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDLc, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
