  1. a Data have been shown as mean (± sd) or percent.
  2. b In all variables except smoking and intervention difference among categories is significant (P < 0.05 according to ANOVA or χ2 test.)
  3. *Difference with "Any DM-/CHD+" group is significant at the level of P < 0.01 (according to t-test or χ2 test and considering Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons.).
  4. DM: diabetes mellitus, CHD: coronary heart disease, NDM: newly diagnosed DM, KDM: known DM, SBP: systolic blood pressure, DBP: diastolic blood pressure, TC: total cholesterol, TG/HDL-C: triglyceride/HDL cholesterol, BMI: body mass index, FH of CVD: family history of premature cardiovascular disease, Intervention: being in intervention group.
