*

Three individuals did not provide DBP data;

True-positive cases were defined as individuals with confirmed diabetes based on the 1999 WHO criteria that were detected by HbA1c at the derived cut-off point of 5.8% (40 mmol/mol);

False-negative cases were defined as individuals with confirmed diabetes based on the 1999 WHO criteria that were not detected by HbA1c at the derived cut-off point of 5.8% (40 mmol/mol);

§

Screen-positive cases were defined as individuals with an HbA1c ≥ the derived cut-off point of 5.8% (40 mmol/mol);

||

Screen-negative cases were defined as individuals with an HbA1c < the derived cut-off point of 5.8% (40 mmol/mol);

The 10-year risk score of CVD was calculated according to the Framingham Risk Score for predicting CVD [19].
