Insulin resistance (A) and C-peptide or fasting insulin (B) in relation to serum lipids and neutrophil count in Lu He patients and FLEMENGHO participants. Insulin resistance was computed by Homeostasis Model Assessment algorithm (HOMA-IR), using C peptide in diabetic Lu He patients (■) and fasting insulin (●) in non-diabetic FLEMENGHO participants. Estimates express the percentage change in the dependent variable associated with a 1-SD increment in the explanatory variables. All estimates were standardised to the average in each population (mean or ratio) of age, body mass index, mean arterial pressure, and use of antidiabetic medications (by class), lipid-lowering drugs (by class), antihypertensive drugs (by class), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (see S3 Table). The three explanatory variables were jointly entered in the models.
