  • Correlation between variables was analysed by partial correlation test; age was adjusted.

  • 2-hPG, 2 hour postchallenge plasma glucose; ALAT, alanine aminotransferase; ASAT, aspartate aminotransferase; BMI, body mass index; Cr, creatinine; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FINS, fasting serum insulin; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; GGT, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase; HbA1c, glycated haemoglobin; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR, homoeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance; hsCRP, high-sensitive C reactive protein; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; MET, metabolic equivalent; r, partial correlation coefficient; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; WC, waist circumference; WHR, waist-to-hip ratio.
