  1. BMI, body mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; eGFR, estimated goblet filtration rate; FG, fasting glucose; HDL–C, high–density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low–density lipoprotein cholesterol; PP, pulse pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; UA, Uric acid; WC, waist circumference; WHtR, waist–to-height ratio. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation for continuous variables and as frequencies (percentages) for categorical variables, age also presented as median (interquartile). eGFR was calculated according to Cockcroft-Gault equation. *Prevalences are standardized for age and sex.
