: ANOVA test; pairwise comparisons were performed by post hoc test. DBP: diastolic blood pressure; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; SBP: systolic blood pressure. Comparison of groups: : age < 10 yrs and age 10–15 yrs; : age < 10 yrs and age > 15 yrs; : age 10–15 yrs and age > 15 yrs.
