∗ p < 0.05, † p < 0.01, and ‡ p < 0.001 compared to men. Data are expressed as means ± standard deviation (SD) or median (25th–75th percentiles), and categorical variables were reported as percentages. WC: waist circumference; BP: blood pressure; FBG: fasting blood glucose; TC: total cholesterol; HDL-c: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; AF: atrial fibrillation; YSDD: years since diagnosis of diabetes.
