SD = standard deviation; IR = insulin resistance; NIR = normal insulin sensitivity; INSU0 = fasting plasma insulin; SUG0 = fasting blood glucose; SUG2 = two-hour blood glucose; VLDL = very-low-density lipoprotein; TG = plasma triglycerides; DIAST = diastolic blood pressure; SYST = systolic blood pressure; HbA1c = glycated haemoglobin; ALT = alanine aminotransferase; FT4 = free thyroxine; HOMA-IR = homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance.
Only variables with a correlation with HOMA-IR ≥0.1 are shown.
