Data presented as mean (standard deviation) or absolute value (frequency). Comparative analysis for categorical variables was performed by Pearson’s chi-square test (), and continuous variables were performed by Student’s t-test (). BMI: body mass index; WC: waist circumference; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; non-IR group: individuals without insulin resistance; IR group: individuals with insulin resistance.
