¹Hypertension is defined as a previous diagnosis of hypertension or blood pressure ≥140/90 mm Hg.
²Blood pressure ≥130/80 mm Hg includes only participants with previous diagnosis of diabetes or hypertension.
³Diabetes is defined as on oral hypoglycemics, self declared diabetes or has a fasting glucose ≥7.0 mmol/L.
⁴Dysglycemia is defined as previous diagnosis of diabetes or a fasting plasma glucose ≥6.1 mmol/L.
⁵Hematuria was a positive dipstick for hemoglobin.
