The data are shown as n (%). BP: blood pressure; BPs: systolic blood pressure; BPd: diastolic blood pressure; CV: cardiovascular; HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; OGTT: oral glucose tolerance test; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglycerides; * BPs < 130 and BPd < 80 mmHg below 65 years old, BPs < 140 and BPd < 80 mmHg 65–80 years old, BPs < 150 and BPd < 80 mmHg over 80 years old. ** LDL-c < 116 mg% in low CV class, <100 mg% in moderate CV class, <70 mg% in high CV class, <55 mg% in very-high CV class *** TC > 190 mg% or LDL-c > 116 mg% in low CV class, > 100 mg% in moderate CV class, >70 mg% in high CV class, >55 mg% in very-high CV class **** HbA1c < 7.0% ***** Fasting glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL or OGGT 120 min. glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL. Comparisons variables between subgroups, the same letters in each row (a: between low and moderate CV risk classes; b: between low and high CV risk classes; c: between low and very-high CV risk classes; d: between moderate and high CV risk classes; e: between moderate and very-high CV risk classes; f: between high and very-high CV risk classes) represent significant differences at p < 0.05. No significant differences between the moderate and high risk groups are shown in bold.
