BSA, body surface area.

*Values are adjusted by age and sex.

†Normal fasting glucose: <5.6 mmol/L (<100 mg/dL).

‡IFG: 5.6–6.9 mmol/L (100–125 mg/dL).

§GFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) measured by single-sample iohexol clearance.

||GFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) estimated by the MDRD equation (12).

#GFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) estimated by Rule’s cystatin C–based equation of 2006 (13).

¶GFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) estimated by the CKD-EPI equation (12).
