aLog-transformed before analysis. #WC did not enter the multivariate regression due to its high intercorrelation with BMI (r = 0.746). 2-hour blood glucose did not enter the multivariate regression due to its high intercorrelation with fasting blood glucose (r = 0.931). In multiple linear regression analysis, values included for analysis were age, gender, BMI, TG, HDL-C, FPG, FIns, HOMA-IR, IL-6, and MCP-1. BMI, body mass index; Fat, percentage of body fat; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride, LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; 2h-PG, 2-hour plasma glucose; FIns, fasting insulin; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; IL-6, interleukin-6; MCP-1, monocyte chemotactic protein-1.
