Correlation of serum FGF21 level in all subjects. FGF21 level was positively correlated with BMI and not affected by gender. Besides, serum FGF21 levels were correlated with CRP, UA, TC, TG, blood glucose (0 min, 30 min, 1 h, and 2 h), insulin (0 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 3 h), percentage of body fat, body age, and basal metabolic rate.
