Values are represented as medians (interquartile range). Differences were analysed using Mann-Whitney U tests. BMI Body mass index; SBP Systolic blood pressure; DBP Diastolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol; TGs, triglycerides; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL Low-density lipoprotein; GLU Fasting blood glucose; FINS Fasting insulin
