More women who had hypertension reported risky drinking (50% versus 38%; p =0.236) and elevated albumin:creatinine ratio and low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol were more common (31.6% versus 17.7% and 59.1% versus 43.5% respectively) though not statistically significant (p =0.366 and 0.170 respectively).
