Data are expressed as the mean with standard deviation and median (interquartile range), except for gender as number (percentage). value for difference between the groups was calculated from the one-way ANOVA or Kruskal–Wallis test or chi-squared test: vs. NGT group and #vs. IFG group. NGT, normal glucose tolerance; IFG, impaired fasting glucose; IGT, impaired glucose tolerance; BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure.
