  1. Data are given as mean ± standard deviation. In comparison to normal ns = no significance, *p < .05 and **p < 0.01. In comparison to risk ns = no significance, #p < 0.05 and ##p < 0.01.
  2. Normal, risk and elevated HTW are defined in the method section. SBP systolic blood pressure, WHtR classes as normal, risk and elevated are defined in the method section.
