HOMA-IR, homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance, hs-CRP: high sensitivity C-reactive protein, HSP70: heat shock protein 70, WC: waist circumference, T2DM: type 2 diabetes

*To attain normal distribution, squared root of HOMA-IR was used as its transformed variable

†Shows significance at the level p < 0.05
