Values in bold are p>0.05, that is, evidence is not strong enough to show equivalence.
*p Value for comparison with Chinese reference population.
†Weighted to account for design bias in the DSP.
BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure; DSP, Disease Specific Programme; HbA1c, glycosylated haemoglobin.
