  1. Data presented as means ± standard deviation; (sample number): n = minimum and maximum of subjects with determined parameters; p values = Mann–Whitney U test for comparisons between the presence and absence of the alleles (V and B2); gender comparisons, Chi-Square test. Significant differences: p≤0.05 in bold. BMI= Body Mass Index; WC= waist circumference; SBP= systolic blood pressure; DBP= diastolic blood pressure; cIMT= carotid intima-media thickness.
