^aAdjusted OR calculated from the logistic regression adjusted for sex, age, BMI, smoking, and drinking. ^bGeometric mean of the hs-CRP level. CAVI, cardio-ankle vascular index; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; hs-CRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
