| FPG, mg/dL | 97.49 ± 8.56 | 96.86 ± 8.11 | 99.38 ± 9.64 | 0.131 * |
| Insulin, µIU/mL | 11 (3.52–46.82) | 9.21 (3.52–15.75) | 21.16 (14.17–46.82) | 0.00 # |

Data are expressed by mean ± standard deviation for normally distributed variables and median (minimum–maximum) for non-normally distributed variables. Subjects are divided into two groups, IR negative and IR positive, based on HOMA-IR ≥75 percentile value (cut-off 3.75). IR = Insulin Resistance, BW = body weight, BMI = body mass index, WC = waist circumference, BF = body fat percentage, VF = visceral fat level, * T Test, # Mann Whitney Test.
