Data are presented as mean (SD) for continuous variables and number (percentage) for categorical variables.
Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CI; confidence interval; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; SBP, systolic blood pressure; Scr, serum creatinine.
Rheumatic arthritis was defined as KDC code of diagnosis by physicians.
Prediabetes was defined as fasting plasma glucose level of 100-125 mg/dL.
Normoglycemia was defined as fasting plasma glucose level below 100 mg/dL.
