BMI: body mass index. FPG: fasting plasma glucose. HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c. HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment index for insulin resistance. QUICKI: quantitative insulin sensitivity check index. Values are presented as mean ± SD. Student- t test was used for comparing data between groups.
