BMI: body mass index; Cr: creatinine; BUN: blood urea nitrogen; UA: uric acid; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; VLDL-C: very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate transaminase; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; is considered to be statistically significant.
