Values are expressed as mean ± SD. MHNO = metabolically healthy non-obese; MHO = metabolically healthy obese; MUHNO = metabolically unhealthy non-obese; MUHO = metabolically unhealthy obese; BMI = body mass index; HDL = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HbA1C = hemoglobin A1c.
*P values for one-way ANOVA among the four groups.
