Values are presented as mean±standard deviation or number (%). Hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg, or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg, or taking anti-hypertensive medication. Dyslipidemia is defined as a total cholesterol ≥240 mg/dL or taking lipid-lowering agents [2].
