  1. Data were presented as mean ± SD, median (interquartile range, IQR) or percentages. Between group differences were compared by student t test, Mann-Whitney U test or X2 test where appropriate. ASCVD, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration function; ACR, albumin-to-creatinine ratio; CRP, c-reactive protein. Variables differed significantly between groups have been highlighted in bold font
