a The accuracy was defined as the number of correctly classified participants/number of all participants. PLR: positive likelihood ratio; NLR: negative likelihood ratio; dOR: diagnostic odds ratio; IDF: International Diabetes Federation; PWv: pulse wave velocity; IMT: intima media thickness; ACR: Albumin-to-creatinine ratio; HbA1c: glycated hemoglobin A1c.
