	Dutch Native	Turkish	Moroccan	Other
n (%)	95 (18.4)	145 (28.1)	133 (25.8)	145 (27.7)

MetS	2.1 (0.8–6.9)^c	5.0 (1.7–14.6)*^c	7.0 (2.1–23.1)*	3.3 (1.2–8.9)^†

IFG	5.0 (1.5–16.7)*	3.1 (1.3–7.2)*^a	5.4 (2.3–12.9)*	4.8 (1.6–13.9)*^{a, b}

Low HDL-cholesterol	1.4 (0.5–3.5)^c	4.5 (2.1–9.6)*	3.1 (1.1–8.9)^{†b, c}	2.1 (0.9–4.8)^b

High Triglycerides	3.8 (1.3–10.9)^†	2.4 (0.9–6.3)^c	5.2 (1.3–20.4)^†b	4.1 (1.3–12.9)^†b

Hypertension	1.2 (0.4–3.5)^{a, b, c}	0.7 (0.3–1.6)^{b, c}	6.2 (1.8–21.1)*^b	1.4 (0.5–3.6)^{a, b}

Odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) are given for the associations of insulin resistance (binary variable) with the components comprising MetS and IFG (after adjustment for confounders; ^asex, ^bage, ^cZ-BMI), with logistic regression analysis.
