  1. Values are estimated mean (SE) for each group. BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; % body fat, percent body fat determined by dual energy x-ray absorbtiometry; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; MAP, mean arterial pressure
  2. 1 controlled for age and sex
  3. 2 controlled for age, sex, and height
  4. * P < 0.05 for group difference between ID and II
  5. # P ≤ 0.05 for group difference between D carriers and II
  6. a P < 0.05 for group difference between ID and both DD and II
