Median age = 54 years.

Insulin resistance as measured by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR), triglycerides, and C-reactive protein were log-transformed to meet normality criteria for linear regression.

Waist circumference measured in cm, HOMA-IR in U/mL · mmol/L.

CRP, C-reactive protein; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
