Characteristics of Study Participants According to Blood Pressure Categories and Sex*.

*Blood pressure level was categorized as follows: normotension (systolic blood pressure, †HOMA-IR: homeostasis of minimal assessment of insulin resistance was calculated from fasting plasma glucose(FPG)and fasting insulin level (FINS)using the following formula; (FPG[mmol/L]×FINS)/22.5.‡IAUC: Insulin area under-curve was calculated from FINS, 0.5-hour insulin level (INS0.5 h)and 2-hour glucose level (INS2h)in an oral glucose-tolerance test using the following formula; FINS/4+INSlh+3×INS2h/4.#p##p

*血压水平分类如下：正常血压（收缩压）；†稳态模型胰岛素抵抗最小评估（homeostasis of minimal assessment of insulin resistance, HOMA-IR）：基于空腹血浆葡萄糖（fasting plasma glucose, FPG）与空腹胰岛素水平（fasting insulin level, FINS），通过下述公式计算所得，公式为：(FPG[mmol/L] × FINS) / 22.5。‡胰岛素曲线下面积（insulin area under-curve, IAUC）：通过口服葡萄糖耐量试验中的空腹胰岛素水平（FINS）、0.5小时胰岛素水平（INS0.5 h）及2小时葡萄糖水平（INS2h），采用以下公式计算：FINS/4 + INSlh + 3×INS2h/4。#p##p
