  1. Triglycerides are calculated in logarithm values. Lower CD34-positive cells, ≤ 0.93 cells/μL. Higher CD34-positive cells, > 0.93 cells/μL. The p values are enclosed in parentheses
  2. BMI body mass index, HDL high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HbA 1c hemoglobin A1c, GFR glomerular filtration rate
