Significant difference (p-value < 0.01) in mean fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and SHBG between H and NHW groups; otherwise, no significant differences among racial and ethnic group means with all p-values >0.05 when adjusted for multiple comparisons using Tukey’s Honestly Significance Difference method. SHBG, sex hormone binding globulin.
