Data are presented as the means ± standard deviation. BMI: body mass index; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; HDL: high-density lipoprotein. The 𝑃 values were calculated from the MH versus non-MH comparison of the values for each of the measured parameters. Values <0.05 (bolded) were considered statistically significant.
