Mean arterial blood pressure = (systolic blood pressure + 2 × diastolic blood pressure)/3; Pulse pressure = (systolic blood pressure − diastolic blood pressure). SI conversion factors: to convert fasting blood sugar to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0555; triglyceride to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0113; high-density lipoprotein to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0259.
