Notes: General linear model was applied to investigate the associations of target organ damage with somatotype, after adjustment for age and male gender, and DUNCAN multiple range test were applied for the comparisons among different somatotype, respectively. *p<0.05, comparing with normal weight by using DUNCAN multiple range test. Creatinine clearance rate was calculated as MDRD formula. $E = peak early diastolic transmitral flow velocity; Ea = early diastolic lateral mitral annular velocity.
