Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The % changes of the mean IMT value after 24 months from the baseline which assessed by ultrasonography. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) The measured value of ultrasonography and the % changes and variation at the point of baseline, and at after 12 and 24 months. Common carotid artery: excluding the % of changes at the point of 24 months. Sphere, Internal carotid artery: the maximum IMT value, plaque area, plaque luminance 2) Laboratory test values indicated below at baseline, and after 12 and 24 months, and changes and %changes in the values from baseline. NT-proBNP, high-sensitivity CRP, 1,5AG, small-dense LDL, high-molecular-weight adiponectin, RLP-C, and MDA-LDL 3) Laboratory test values indicated below at baseline, and after 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, and changes and %changes in the values from baseline. HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, insulin, serum lipids (TC,HDL-C, and TG), serum creatinine, urinary albumin excretion (creatinine corrected value), eGFR (converted value), HOMA-beta and HOMA-R (converted values) and cystatin C 4) Cardiovascular function parameters indicated below at baseline, and after 12 and 24 months, and changes and %changes in the values from baseline. Echocardiogram (systolic and diastolic function, left atrial dimension, and left ventricular mass index), flow-mediated dilation (FMD), pulse wave velocity (PWV), cardio-ankle vascular Index (CAVI), and atherogenic index (AI) 5) Values indicated below at baseline, and after 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, changes and %changes in the values from baseline, and incidence of significant clinical symptoms.
