BMI body mass index, WC waist circumference, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure, FBG fasting blood glucose, TC total cholesterol, TG triglyceride, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, ACR urinary albumin to creatinine ratio. Data are presented as mean ± SD. P-values are obtained from Independent sample t-test in comparison between the groups. Chi-Square test was applied to determine p-values for categorical variables
