Bold denotes statistical significance at p < 0.05
p values: obtained by ANCOVA for adjusted mean and standard error
Values were adjusted for age, sex, education, smoking, drinking, obesity, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension by ANCOVA in GLM. Superscript denotes same groups according to Bonferroni’s post hoc multiple comparison test
