| HbA1c (%) | 5.3 (4.7–6.1) | 5.8 (4.7–6.0) | 5.7 (4.5–6.0) | 0.8463 |
| Urea (mg/dl) | 21.7 (8–36) | 21.3 (11–37) | 18.5 (9–22) | 0.8316 |
| Creatinine (mg/dl) | 0.76 (0.2–1) | 0.74 (0.6–1) | 0.64 (0.5–0.9) | 0.6181 |
| ALT (U/L) | 18.7 (8–93) | 21.8 (7–45) | 20.5 (8–50) | 0.7938 |

The values represent geometric mean and range except for gender and age (which is median and range). LBMI refers to individuals with low BMI with LTBI, NBMI refers to individuals with normal BMI with LTBI.
