Data are expressed as number, n (per cent) for categorical variables, as mean (SD, standard deviation) for continuous variables in case of normal distributions and medians (IQRs, Inter Quartile Ranges) otherwise. SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; FBG: Fasting Blood Glucose.
