Sbp: systolic blood pressure, Dbp diastolic blood pressure, BMI: body mass index, TG: Triglycerides, LDL: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, Gly: glycemia, TC: serum total cholesterol. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range) for quantitative parameters and as frequencies for qualitative parameters.
