Abbreviations: FPG indicates fasting plasma glucose; HbA1c indicates glycosylated haemoglobin; BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; Central obesity is defined as a sex-specific android to gynoid fat mass ratio (A/G ratio) above the median; Physical activity indicates aerobic exercise/resistance exercise.
