AUC, area under the curve; BMI, body mass index; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; HOMA-β, HOMA index; IGI, insulinogenic index; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; QUICKI, quantitative insulin sensitivity check index; SDS, standard deviation score; WBISI, whole-body insulin sensitivity index. Correlations were evaluated using median regression analysis.
