Data are shown according to quartiles of fasting glucose level and systolic blood pressure. The quartiles for systolic blood pressure were less than 126, 126 to 136, 137 to 152, and greater than 152 mm Hg. The quartiles for glucose level were less than 87.3, 87.3 to 93.1, 93.2 to 100.4, and greater than 100.4 mg/dL (to convert to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0555).
