  1. Independent sample t-test and mean ± SD were used to compare the difference of the approximately normally distributed continuous variables between the CAS group and the non-CAS group. Mann-Whitney U test and median (quartile) were used for the skew distributional data and Chi square and percentage were used for categorical variables. Data are mean (SD), median (interquartile range), or number (percentage). The skew distributional data include FBG and TG. BMI, body mass index; FBG, fast blood glucose; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; HDL-c, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; CAS, carotid atherosclerosis
