Abbreviations: T2DM: type 2 diabetes; BMI: body mass index; FBG: fasting blood glucose; HbAlc: glycosylated hemoglobin; TG: triglyceride; TC: total cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; hs-CRP: high sensitivity C-reactive protein; MoCA: Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Data are expressed as medians and interquartile ranges (IQR) for quantitative variables and expressed as cases and percentages for category variables. Mann–Whitney U test (Z), or test was used to test for significant differences. FT3: serum-free triiodothyronine; FT4:serum-free thyroxine; TSH: thyroid stimulating hormone.
