Data are expressed as mean ± SD, median (25th percentiles, 75th percentiles), or percent. BMI: body mass index; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c; CRP: C-reactive protein; CV: cardiovascular, CV; CAVI: cardioankle vascular index; ABI: ankle-brachial index.
