Diabetes: defined as non-fasting glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL, hemoglobin A1c ≥ 6.5, and/or self-reported treatment for diabetes.

Non-obesity: defined as BMI <25.0 kg/m2 based on the Western Pacific Region of the World Health Organization criteria for Japanese individuals. Never-smoker: defined as participants who had smoked <100 cigarettes during their lifetime.

Regular physical activity: defined as meeting the American Heart Association recommendations of at least 150 min of moderate activity per week or 75 min of vigorous activity per week (or an equivalent combination).

A higher GGT was defined as GGT ≥ 50 IU/L based on health examination in Japan.

To compare the characteristics of participants with and without family history of diabetes, we used the Student’s t-test for continuous variables, Mann-Whitney U test for nonparametric variables, and the χ2-test for categorical variables.
