Data are Mean ± SD or Median (IQR, interquartile range). Mean values between groups were compared by independent sample t test, except for the variables specified with the symbols. # Chi2 test was used for categorical variables and Φ Mann-Whitney U test was used for variables not fitting normal distribution. The log-transformed variables were used for group comparison in the case of HbA1c, total cholesterol, TAG and VLDL-C. WC, waist circumference; TAG, Triacylglycerides. GGT: Gamma-glutamyl Transferase.
