  1. Data are expressed as number and % of patients, mean ± SD or median (25th, 75th percentiles). CAD – Coronary artery disease; BMI – Body mass index; WC – Waist circumference; FPG – fasting plasma glucose; LDL-C – low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C – high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG – triglycerides; hsCRP – high sensitivity C-reactive protein. Central obesity was defined as increased waist circumference.
