Data are mean ± SD or n (%) unless otherwise indicated. The χ2 test of independence was used for qualitative variables. The Student t test with unequal variances was used for quantitative variables comparing men vs. women and the ANOVA F test for quantitative variables in racial groups. Any racial group with <100 members was excluded from this analysis.

ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; BP, blood pressure; CPI, C-peptide index.
