Data are means ± S.D. BMI: body-mass index, WHR: waist-to-hip ratio, HDL-c: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, HOMA-β: homeostatic model assessment of β cell function, ALT: alanine aminotransferase, AST: aspartate aminotransferase, γ-GT: γ-glutamyltransferase, RBP4: retinol binding protein 4.
lg: logarithmic transformation with 10 as its base of skewed variables.
