Data are presented as . value (a): post hoc analysis between controls and patients with DM alone. value (b): post hoc analysis between controls and DM with HTN. value (c): post hoc analysis between DM alone and DM with the HTN groups. is significant. Significant values are marked in bold. Analysis was conducted using one-way analysis of variance with the Tukey-Kramer post hoc multiple comparisons. DM: diabetes mellitus; HTN: hypertension; WC: waist circumference; HC: hip circumference; MUAC: midupper arm circumference; BMI: body mass index; BP: blood pressure.
