  1. ns: not statistically significant; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.
  2. DM: diabetes mellitus. WHO/ISH score AFRO: CVD risk prediction score for the African region D.
  3. Major risk factors (3): blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg or treatment; daily smoking; total cholesterol ≥5.2 mmol/l.
  4. Major risk factors (4): same as above + diabetes (fasting blood glucose ≥7.0 mmol/l or treatment).
  5. Metabolic syndrome using ATP III criteria modified with BMI ≥30 kg/m2 instead of elevated waist circumference.
