LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; BP: blood pressure; hs-CRP: High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein. Normally distributed variable, expressed as mean ± standard deviation; nonnormally distributed variable, expressed as median (25th percentile–75th percentile). Student’s -test was used for normally distributed variables; Mann-Whitney test was used for nonnormally distributed variables.
