  1. Values reported are means (¤geometric means) or percentages (%) with 95% CI. Hypertension was defined as systolic BP > 140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP > 90 mmHg and/or antihypertensive treatment. Reduced glucose tolerance included any of IFG, OGT or DM
  2. Abbreviations: DM diabetes mellitus, IFG impaired fasting glucose, IGT impaired glucose tolerance (see text for definitions of DM, IFG and IGT), HDL high density lipoprotein, BP blood pressure
