Notes: AUC = area under the curve; HOMA-IR = homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance; OGTT = oral glucose tolerance test.

Beta coefficients (±SE) are shown. All analyses are adjusted for age and body mass index.

Units for glucose AUC are mg min−1 dL−1 and for insulin AUC are mU min−1 mL−1.
