*
Metabolic syndrome defined as the presence of at least three of the following: high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol <50 mg/dl in women and <40 mg/dl in men; triglycerides ≥150 mg/dl; blood pressure (BP) ≥130/85 mmHg; or fasting glucose ≥100 mg/dl. ABPM, ambulatory BP monitoring; DBP, diastolic BP; SBP, systolic BP; SD, standard deviation.
