| Fasting glucose (mmol/L) | 55,949 | 2 (1, 3) | 5.5 (1.4) | 47.7 | 60.4 (7.6) | 28.7 (5.1) |
| Random glucose (mmol/L) | 97,162 | 2 (1, 4) | 5.7 (2.1) | 51.9 | 59.8 (8.2) | 28.5 (5.1) |
| HbA1c (%) | 70,589 | 2 (1, 4) | 6.7 (1.4) | 43.4 | 62.4 (7.8) | 30.4 (5.7) |
| BMI | 144,414 | 5 (3, 9) | 28.3 (5.7) | 54.9 | 57.3 (9.9) | – |
The eleven biomarkers are as follows: SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; PP, pulse pressure = SBP – DBP; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; total cholesterol; triglycerides; random glucose; fasting glucose; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1C; and BMI, body mass index.
