BMI, body mass index; HbA1c, glycosylated haemoglobin; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure. The strength of association between variables was calculated using Spearman’s r correlation test. P<0.05 is considered statistically significant.
