ARP, attributable risk per cent; BMI, body mass index; Ie, prevalence of adipose tissue insulin resistance for the obese group included in obesity defined by BMI≥25 kg/m2 (whole body obesity), WC≥80 cm for female/90 cm for male (abdominal obesity) or cut-off value in this study (WC≥83.5 cm for male and BMI≥21.77 kg/m2 for female); Io, prevalence of adipose tissue insulin resistance for non-obese population; It, prevalence of adipose tissue insulin resistance for the study population; PARP, population attributable risk per cent; WC, waist circumference.
