Non-parametric tests were performed for continuous variables that did not show normal distribution and are presented as median (25–75 percentile range).
Results are expressed as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Variables with p < 0.1 by univariate analysis were entered into the multivariate analysis model. HTN, hypertension; DM, diabetes mellitus; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c, LDL, low-density lipoprotein; BMI, body mass index.
