Table 3 Baseline characteristics according to diastolic function. Similar variables, obtained at follow-up, are depicted for comparison

From: Greater body mass index is a better predictor of subclinical cardiac damage at long-term follow-up in men than is insulin sensitivity: a prospective, population-based cohort study

Categorical variables (active smoking) are given as n (%), whereas continuous variables are given as mean +/− SD (approximately normally distributed variables, i.e. body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, creatinine, fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), left ventricular mass (LVM), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), ejection fraction (EF)) or median (IQR) (non-normally distributed variables, i.e. age, insulin, HOMA-%S, HOMA-%B, E/é, and time)
