  1. Data are presented as medians (interquartile ranges) for continuous variables and as percentage for categorical variables. P values from one-way analysis of variance and chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test were used to determine mean differences for continuous and categorical variables, respectively, based on VAT quartiles.
