Body fat mass distribution, adiposity indexes, and metabolic markers in the study groups. Lean: [BMI: 21.4 (18.5–24.7) kg/m²] n = 49; obesity without IR: [BMI: 32.0 (30.1–34.7) kg/m²] n = 32; obesity with IR: [BMI: 32.6 (30.2–34.9) kg/m²] n = 53. IR: insulin resistance. WHtR: waist to height ratio; WHR waist-hip ratio; CI: conicity index; VAI: visceral adiposity index; BFR: body fat ratio; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; NEFA: none esterified fatty acids; TG: triglycerides; TC: total cholesterol; HDLc, LDLc, and VLDLc (lipoproteins of high, low, and very low density cholesterol, resp.). Data are shown in $\stackrel{-}{x}\pm \mathrm{S}\mathrm{D}$. ^∗∗ P < 0.001, ^∗ P < 0.05 (ANOVA, Tukey post hoc).
