  1. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or median (interquartile range) and numbers (percentage) as appropriate
  2. Abbreviations: CNY Chinese currency (1CNY = 0.15 USD), BMI body mass index, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure, Scr serum creatinine, FPG fasting plasma glucose, TC total cholesterol; TG triglyceride, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, WBC white blood cell, MHR monocyte count to high-density lipoprotein ratio
  3. aComparisons of category variables between groups were tested by chi-square test or rank-sum test (ordinal category variables) and comparisons for continuous variables between groups were tested by Student’s t or Mann-Whitney test
