Anthropometry and biochemistry
Renal dysfunction, TG
RENAL DYSFUNCTION, HYPERTENSION, RECRUITMENT
Physicians gathered baseline demographic (age and sex) and anthropometric information (height and weight) during face‐to‐face recruitment visits. Standardized questionnaires were used to collect data on smoking status, duration of hypertension, medical history, and medication history. Weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared yielded body mass index (BMI). Body surface area (BSA) was calculated by the Stevenson formula. After at least 5 minutes of rest, clinic BP readings were averaged from three consecutive measurements in the seated position taken 1 minute apart at baseline and two phases before echocardiographic evaluation. The ranges for SBP are derived from the baseline distribution in thirds. Additionally, a baseline biochemical test comprised fasting serum glucose, lipid profile consisting of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C), low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C), along with kidney‐related marker creatinine. The MDRD algorithm for Chinese was used to determine eGFR. Renal dysfunction was defined as eGFR <60 mL/min per 1.73 m
