Mean BMI SD	29.44 5.76	28.8 5.17
Mean fasting glucose (mg/dL) SD	101.4 8.14	88 8.40	<0.01
Mean insulin (uU/ml) SD	15.9 13.32	13.82 11.46
Mean HOMA-IR SD	4.14 3.64	2.98^a 2.40

BMI = Body Mass Index, SD = Standard Deviation, HOMA-IR = Homeostasis Model of Assessment for Insulin Resistance,

Lower HOMA-IR values significantly reduce risk for cardiovascular disease event [95].
