Continuous data are presented as means ± standard deviations (SD) or medians (interquartile ranges, IQR) based on the data distribution. Categorical variables are presented as percentages (%). *abc: there is no statistically significant difference between FBG quintiles with the same small letter. BMI, body mass index; FBG, fasting blood glucose.
