Values in bold represent significant values (p < 0.05), and values in italic represent negative correlation. BMI: body mass index; SBP: systolic blood pressure; Cre: creatinine; Hb: hemoglobin; TG: triglyceride; TCH: total cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
