Comparison of male and female of 25(OH)D, glucose metabolism indices (FBS, FINS, and HbA1c), and HOMA-IR.

	Male	Female	value
25(OH)D (ng/mL)	20.46 ± 11.76	22.55 ± 9.16	0.301
HOMA-IR	5.78 ± 2.16	5.81 ± 2.12	0.953
FBS (mmol/L)	8.03 ± 3.76	8.47 ± 2.64	0.452
FINS (μU/mL)	134.72 ± 75.47	118.78 ± 59.14	0.203
HbA1c (%)	10.09 ± 3.09	8.83 ± 2.28	0.013

Notes: 25(OH)D: 25-hydroxyvitamin D, HOMA-IR: homeostatic model estimates of insulin resistance, FBS: fasting blood glucose, FINS: fasting blood insulin, and HbA1c: glycated hemoglobin A1c.
