Data are presented as mean (SD). Control participants were selected with propensity score–matching sex, BMI, and pubertal status at ratio of five control participants per case patient.

IAAT, intra-abdominal adipose tissue; SAAT, subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue; SG, glucose effectiveness index.
