  1. 1Data are reported as n (percentage), mean (standard deviation)a or median (range)b.
  2. 2Hypertension is defined as a blood pressure >140/90 mm Hg for those without diabetes, ≥130/80 mm Hg for those with diabetes, or a previous diagnosis with medications.
  3. 3Diabetes is defined as fasting glucose ≥7.0 mmol/L or previous diagnosis.
  4. 4Impaired fasting glucose is fasting glucose between 6.1 mmol/L and 6.9 mmol/L with no previous diagnosis of diabetes.
  5. 5Albuminuria is albumin:creatinine ratio >2.8 mg/mmol for women and >2.0 mg/mmol for men.
  6. 6Awareness of disease states refers to participant awareness.
