^aRelative prevalence (with 95% confidence interval). Hypertension: systolic blood pressure ≥130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥85 mmHg or use of oral antihypertensive medication. Dyslipidemia: triglyceride ≥150 mg/dL or high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C)< 0.9 mM in men or < 1.0 mM in women.
