| Insulin resistance risk | medium-high | 10 (19.2%) | 10 (15.2%) | OR = 1.33 [0.51, 3.49] (p = 0.625) |
| low | 42 (80.8%) | 56 (84.8%) | ||

μ ± SD = mean (standard deviation); Gμ ± SD = geometric mean (geometric standard deviation); M (range) = median (min:max); MW = Mann–Whitney test; OR/RR = odds-ratio/risk-ratio [95% CI] and p value from Fisher test).
