#. SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; TG: thyroglobulin; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance; TyG: triglyceride glucose. The value is < 0.01, Student’s -test for continuous variables and -test or Fisher’s exact test for discrete variables.
