¹Spearman correlation coefficients were adjusted by age, sex, region, residence, and BMI. Missing data: fasting insulin and HOMA-IR (n = 4), blood pressure (n = 1), adiponectin (n = 91), and PAI-1 (n = 91). hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; PAI-1, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1; RBP-4, retinol binding protein 4.
