Data are given as P values. Significance is marked in bold. Correlation analysis was performed using Spearman’s rank-order test.

Abbreviations: 24-h SBP, 24-hour systolic blood pressure; DDD, defined daily doses of antihypertensive medication; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
