Model 1: P values from multiple logistic regression analysis after adjustments for the following independent factors: sex (male subjects or female subjects), age (continuous), BMI (continuous), frequency of exercise (yes or no), and smoking status (non-smokers, ex-smokers, or current smokers).

Forty-one participants had a high HbA1c level; 592 participants had a normal HbAc1 level. Hypertension subjects were defined as participants with SBP > 140 mmHg, DBP > 90 mmHg, or the use of antihypertensive medication.
