Correlations of non-invasive indices with glucose tolerance and insulin-resistance indices
| BMI | Abdominal girth | PWV (right) | PWV (left) | SBP | DBP | Visceral fat | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HbA1c | (−) | (−) | (−) | (−) | (−) | (−) | (−) |
| FPG | ** | ** | (−) | (−) | (−) | (−) | ** |
| 60 min PG after OGTT | * | ** | (−) | (−) | * | (−) | ** |
| 120 min PG after OGTT | ** | ** | (−) | (−) | * | * | ** |
| MI3 | ## | ## | # | # | ## | # | ## |
| HOMA-IR | ** | ** | (−) | (−) | ** | * | ** |
*,#p<0.05, **,##p<0.01, (–) p>0.05 vs HbA1c and FPG in the OGTT, MI3 and HOMA-IR. * and # indicate positive and negative correlations, respectively. BMI, body-mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; PWV, pulse wave velocity; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
