Mean Values of Chronic Illness Control Indicators in the Sample
| Control Measure | Mean (SD) | Sample Range | Normal Range | Conclusion |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HbA1c, % | 7.2 (2.18) | 5.7–16 | ≤ 7 | Elevated |
| Fasting glucose, mg/dL | 111.4 (15.65) | 88–171 | < 100 | Elevated |
| Creatinine, mg/dL | 0.9 (0.27) | 0.54–2.32 | 0.60–1 | Normal |
| GFR, mL/min/1.73 m2 | 56 (6.58) | 27–60 | ≥ 60 | Decreased |
| SBP, mmHg | 134 (17.19) | 102–201 | ≤ 120 | Elevated |
| DBP, mmHg | 74 (11.6) | 44–98 | ≤ 80 | Normal |
| BMI, kg/m2 | 30.5 (8.64) | 14–78 | 18.5–24.9 | Elevated |
| Total cholesterol, mg/dL | 181 (47.3) | 108–333 | ≤ 200 | Normal |
| Triglycerides, mg/dL | 136 (81.56) | 34–568 | ≤ 170 | Normal |
| LDL, mg/dL | 100 (46.4) | 80–279 | ≤ 130 | Normal |
| HDL, mg/dL | 48 (13.5) | 28–100 | 30–75 | Normal |
BMI = body mass index; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; GFR = glomerular filtration rate; HDL = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HbA1c = glycated hemoglobin; LDL = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; SBP = systolic blood pressure; SD = standard deviation.
Note: HbA1c analysis included only 20 participants; the other 40 participants did not have these data available in their medical records.
