Data expressed as mean and standard deviation or n (%), except for triglycerides, which is presented as median and p25-p75 range. CAD = coronary artery disease group, No CAD = absence of coronary disease group, BMI = body mass index; BP = Blood pressure; LDL-c = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDLc = high-density lipoprotein; HbA1c = Glycated hemoglobin. Physically active individuals were defined as those who performed at least 150 min of moderate/intense exercise per week. | |||
