Comparison of waist-to-height ratio (A), pulse pressure (B), LDL cholesterol (C) and log-transformed LAP (D) in non-diabetic and diabetic subjects. Histories of smoking, alcohol drinking and regular exercise were adjusted for calculation of each mean. In addition, a history of medication therapy for hypertension was adjusted for calculation of the mean of pulse pressure, and a history of medication therapy for dyslipidemia was adjusted for calculation of the means of LDL cholesterol and LAP. Symbols denote significant differences from men (*, P<0.05; **, P<0.01).
