RWT was defined by the ratio of posterior wall and interventricular septum thickness to LVIDd.

ARD, aortic root diameter; BP, blood pressure; BSA, body surface area; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LV, left ventricular; RWT, relative wall thickness; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; UA, uric acid.
