Data are mean±SD or median (interquartile range) unless otherwise noted.
CAC = coronary artery calcium; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; LDL = low-density lipoproteinl; AST = Aspartate Aminotransferase; ALT = Alanine Aminotransferase; BMI = body mass index; BP = blood pressure; HR = heart rate; baPWV = brachial ankle plse wave velocity.
Physical activity category defined by ≥ 3 episode of moderate activity of > 30 min/d that induced slight breathlessness.
