These data were not weighted using sampling weights. Data are given as (number (percentage). These sample characteristics are for all participants who had nonmissing blood glucose level and blood pressure measurement. Sample characteristics stratified by whether the blood glucose or blood pressure measurement was missing are shown in eTable 1 in the Supplement. The percentage missing for all sociodemographic variables (ie, age, education, household wealth, marital status, and urban vs rural location) was less than 0.5% except for household wealth quintile (4.4% of observations were missing).
