  1. Bold values statistical significance, when p value is <0.05
  2. Continuous variables are expressed as mean ± standard deviation, categorical variables are expressed as numbers (percentage). *Chi-square test was used to compare the frequency differences between groups, while T-tests was used to compare the mean differences between groups
  3. BMI = Body mass index, DM = Diabetes mellitus, e-GFR = Estimated glomerular filtration rate, Hb = Hemoglobin, FH = Family history of premature coronary artery disease, HTN = Hypertension
