Results are presented as means ± S.D. Asterisks indicate significant differences between non-obese (BMI < 25 kg/m2) and overweight/obese (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) individuals according to Welch’s two sample t-test for parametric variables and the Chi-square test for sex variables expressed as percentage (* p < 0.05). Abbreviations: WHR, waist-to-hip ratio; BMI, body mass index; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; HDL, high density lipoprotein; LDL, low density lipoprotein.
