*
Continuous data are expressed as median (interquartile range) due to the skewed distribution.
The p-value is a comparison between the normotension and hypertension groups.
FPG, fasting plasma glucose; TG, triglycerides; TC, total cholesterol; HDL-c, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; Scr, serum creatinine; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; BMI, Body mass index.
