Underlined numbers indicate relevant and similar associations in the three subgroups. Italicized numbers demonstrate a weak or lost correlation in one of the subgroups compared to NFG. Bold letters indicate the central correlations of a specific phenotype marker with the Matsuda index for comparison between these markers.
