  1. Hypertension: systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg or use of anti-hypertension drugs
  2. Diabetes: fasting glucose ≥126 mg/dL and/or use of hypoglycemic drugs
  3. Increased arterial stiffness: pulse wave velocity (PWV) ≥10 m/s
  4. Continuous data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation
  5. Categorical data are expressed as percentage
  6. BMI body mass index, PWV pulse wave velocity, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure, MBP mean blood pressure, PP pulse pressure, HbA1c glycated hemoglobin
