BMI body mass index, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure, HbA1c glycated haemoglobin, HDL high density lipoprotein, LDL low density lipoprotein, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, UAER urine albumin excretion rate, NT-proBNP N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, CAC coronary artery calcium. Data are mean ± SD or median (range). UAER expressed as geometric mean and interquartile range. eGFR determined by CKD-EPI formula
