An increase in cardiovascular structural and functional abnormalities between Group 1 and Group 2 was statistically significant for C2 microvascular arterial stiffness, BP rise PME, CIMT, retinal photography, HDL, triglyceride level, BMI, waist circumference for both males and females, activity level, CACS, and EFV. P-values were calculated using a two tailed T-Test. Chi-square analysis was used to analyze percentages.
