ALB and diabetes mellitus: Table 1 presents a description of the phenotypic traits for each cluster. Clusters 1 and 3 had comparable rates of self-reported dyslipidemia, but Cluster 1 had a relatively higher prevalence of self-reported hypertension and diabetes. The main factors differentiating these two clusters are total serum bilirubin (T_BIL) and albumin (ALB), each of which has been associated with diabetes and hypertension as a protective factor in other populations [16, 17].
