Mean (SD) * p < 0. Abbreviations: HT, hypertension; DM, diabetes mellitus; HL, hyperlipidemia; BMI, body mass index; T-Cho, total cholesterol; HDL-Cho, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-Cho, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HbA1c, hemoglobin Alc; UA, uric acid; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; n.s., not significant. BMI was significantly lower at 6 months after leaving than that at hospitalization (p < 0.05).
