a

In Model 1, dependent variables were each one of blood glucose indices or log-transformed DIs; independent variables included age and a single one of the obesity indices (visceral fat area, subcutaneous fat area, or BMI).

b

In Model 2, dependent variables were each one of blood glucose indices or log-transformed DIs; independent variables included age, visceral fat area, subcutaneous fat area, and BMI simultaneously.

DIearly, early-phase disposition index; DI1st, first-phase disposition index; DI2nd, second-phase disposition index; lg, log-transformed.
