Data are mean ± standard deviation or n (%). † Physical activity (metabolic equivalents [METs] h/w) are median. Differences in the continuous and categorical variables were analyzed by Student’s t-test or Mann–Whitney U tests and chi-square (χ2) tests, respectively. BMI, body mass index; LDL-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; OHA, oral hypoglycemic agent; GLP-1RA, GLP-1 receptor agonist.
