Data are expressed as mean values±SD or median values (interquartile). p values were determined by Student’s t test or Mann- Whitney U test. Categorized data were analyzed by χ2 test. BMI: body mass index, eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate, UACR: urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio, sBP: systolic blood pressure, dBP: diastolic blood pressure
