Glucose	[0.68, 0.85]	77	67
Insulin	[0.52, 0.72]	47	83

^aA ROC analysis performed for each variable. The resulting 95% confidence intervals for the AUC were computed. For variables for which the confidence interval did not contain the number 0.5, the sensitivity and specificity that maximise Youden Index were computed
