Pearson's correlations were performed to examine the associations between IR measures and metabolic syndrome components. Significant correlations are shown in bold font. BMI: body mass index, DBP: diastolic blood pressure, FBG: fasting blood glucose, HDL-C: high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, HOMA-IR: homeostasis model for insulin resistance, LDL-C: low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, QUICK-I: quantitative insulin sensitivity check index, SBP: systolic blood pressure, TC: total cholesterol, TG: triglycerides.
