  • N=1838 for intervention group; N=1846 for control group. Data are presented as mean and SD. Adjusted group differences are adjusted for stratification variables at randomisation (country and site) confounders (sex and age) and for corresponding baseline value.

  • DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HbA1c, haemoglobin A1c; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
