  1. Data are presented as frequency (percentage) for categorical variables and as mean ± standard deviation or median(interquartile range) for continuous variables
  2. NS not significant, BMI body mass index, SBP Systolic blood pressure, DBP Diastolic blood pressure, TC total cholesterol, TG triglyceride, LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, WBC White blood cells
  3. *indicates statistically significant difference
