  1. Numbers are means (SD) or percentages and relate to the number of subjects available for analysis.
  2. BMI: body mass index, OAD: oral anti-diabetic medication, TC: total cholesterol, LDL: low-density lipoprotein, HDL: high-density lipoprotein, CVD: cardiovascular disease, BP: blood pressure.
  3. BP > =140/90 mmHg or using anti-hypertensive medication.
  4. TC/HDL ratio > =5 or using lipid-lowering medication.
  5. Test of the difference between participants with controlled hypertension and those with uncontrolled hypertension, p <0.05.
  6. Test of the difference between participants with controlled dyslipidemia and those with uncontrolled dyslipidemia, p <0.05.
