Characteristics of the studied male population (n = 141).

Variable	IR	NIR	p-value	HYPOG	EUG	p-value
	n = 94 (66.66%)	n = 47 (33.33%)		n = 37 (26.24%)	n = 104 (73.76%)
Age (years)	43.4 ± 1.3	41.7 ± 1.9	0.459 NS	46.2 ± 1.9	41.7 ± 1.3	0.049
Weight (Kg)	93.2 ± 1.7	83.3 ± 1.5	<0.0001	94.5 ± 2.9	88.2 ± 1.5	0.053 NS
Height (m)	1.74 ± 0.01	1.73 ± 0.01	0.220 NS	1.74 ± 0.01	1.74 ± 0.05	0.999 NS
BMI (Kg/m2)	31.0 ± 0.4	27.5 ± 0.4	<0.0001	31.5 ± 0.8	29.2 ± 0.3	0.019
Waist circumference (cm)	105.6 ± 1.1	94.5 ± 1.0	<0.0001	107.0 ± 2.0	100.1 ± 1.0	0.034
Waist/height ratio	0.606 ± 0.01	0.547 ± 0.01	<0.0001	0.615 ± 0.01	0.576 ± 0.01	0.0025

Age was not different in IR compared with NIR subjects, while it was higher in HYPOG compared with EUG subjects; Weight was higher in IR compared with NIR subjects, while the higher value of Weight in HYPOG subjects compared with EUG subjects fell short of statistical significance; Height was not different in either group; BMI differences, when IR and NIR subjects were compared, were more pronounced than they were when HYPOG and EUG subjects were compared. Waist Circumference differences were more pronounced when IR and NIR subjects were compared than they were when HYPOG and EUG subjects were compared. The same phenomenon was observed when Waist/Height ratios were examined in both comparisons.
