Abbreviations: AS, atherosclerosis; BMI, body mass index; CHD, coronary heart disease; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin A1c; HDL‐C, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; HT, hypertension; LDL‐C, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; M, male; n, number of patients; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
Categorical data is presented as n (%), and P values were results of a χ2 test.
Quantitative data is reported as the mean±SD for normal distribution data, and median (25th percentile, 75th percentile) for non‐normal distribution data. P values were results of an independent samples t test for normal distribution data and the Mann‐Whitney test for non‐normal distribution data
