HS, High school; CVD, cardiovascular disease; BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; LVH, left ventricular hypertrophy by electrocardiogram criteria; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate (mL/min/1.73m2); cholesterol values, uric acid, fibrinogen and serum creatinine are in mg/dL. Serum albumin and hemoglobin are in g/dL.
To convert cholesterol values in mg/dL to mmol/L, multiply by 0.02586; triglycerides in mg/dL to mmol/L, multiply by 0.01129; hemoglobin in g/dL to g/L, multiply by 10; uric acid in mg/dL to μmol/L, multiply by 59.48; albumin in g/dL to g/L, multiply by 10; fibrinogen in mg/dL to μmol/L, multiply by 0.0294; creatinine in mg/dL to mol/L, multiply by 88.4; and eGFR in mL/min to mL/s, multiply by 0.01667.
