Table 2. Clinical data according to presence of overweight or obesity. Data expressed as n (%), meanstandard deviation or median (interquartile range).

A two-sided p < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant and is shown in bold. Within non-statistically significant (ns) cells, only numerical values less than 0.1 are shown. Student’s t test was used to assess differences between normally distributed quantitative variables and Mann-Whitney U test for non-normally distributed variables from two groups and Chi square to assess differences in categorical variables within each row.

Notes.

SBP
systolic blood pressure
DBP
systolic blood pressure
eGFR
estimated glomerular filtration rate

Systolic blood pressure. Fasting glycemia between 100 and 125 mg/dl was considered prediabetes and ≥126 mg/dl diabetes.

a

>6.0 mg/dL in women, >7.0 mg/dL in men.

b

>3 RBC per field.

c

Men vs women within subgroup.
