AIP and diabetes mellitus: We compared vascular risk factors between the CSVD and NC groups (Supplemental Table S1), and significant differences (p < 0.05) in hypertension (p = 0.012), diabetes (p = 0.005), coronary heart disease (p = 0.038), 24-h average SBP (p = 0.004), SBPSD (p = 0.010), SDBG (p = 0.021), and AIP (p = 0.037) were found; however, no significant differences in smoking history, drinking history, 24 h average DBP, DBPSD, fasting blood glucose, TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, urea, creatinine, uric acid, and platelet count were observed between the two groups (p > 0.05).
