Stepwise regression was used by adjusting for age, sex, BMI, blood pressure, pulse pressure, duration time of hypertension, history of taking antihypertensive drugs, and the controlling condition of blood pressure. The partial regression coefficient B, 95% CI of B, and standard regression coefficient β are shown for parameters entered into the model. FPG: fasting plasma glucose; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; UA: uric acid.
