P values are calculated using the Pearson’s correlation analysis.

AUC, area under the curve; PPG, postprandial hyperglycemia; FHG, fasting hyperglycemia; r, Pearson’s correlation coefficient; BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; hsCRP, high sensitivity C-reactive protein; ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate transaminase; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
