Table 2. Comparison of demographic and biochemical variables in the studied groups.
Data are presented as median (IQR); p value was obtained by the Mann-Whitney U test (U) and chi-square (χ²) for categorical variables.
SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; BMI, body mass index; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TyG index, triglyceride glucose index; TyG-BMI, product of TyG index and body mass index
