[Retracted] Urine Albumin/Creatinine Ratio and Microvascular Disease in Elderly Hypertensive Patients without Comorbidities

Table 3

Characteristics and Mitchell–Wong classification stratified by sex.

	Male ()	Female ()	value
Age (years)			0.139
BMI (kg/m^2)			0.915
Systolic BP (mmHg)			0.031
Diastolic BP (mmHg)			0.884
N/L ratio			0.992
Fasting blood glucose (mg/dL)			<0.001
Cholesterol (mg/dL)			0.105
Triglycerides (mg/dL)			0.252
HDL-c (mg/dL)			<0.001
LDL-c (mg/dL)			0.937
eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m^2)			0.027
UACR (mg/g)			<0.001
Albuminuria (%)	319 (30.6)	348 (31.8)	0.575
Mitchell–Wong classification
None (%)	808 (77.4)	860 (78.5)	0.556
Mild (%)	199 (19.1)	211 (19.3)	0.913
Moderate (%)	32 (3.1)	23 (2.1)	0.173
Malignant (%)	5 (0.5)	2 (0.2)	0.363

UACR: albumin/creatinine ratios; BMI: body mass index; BP: blood pressure; N/L: neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio; HDL-c: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate. Female patients had higher systolic BP, fasting blood glucose, HDL-c, and UACR but lower eGFR compared to male patients.
