Table 2

Pearson correlation coefficient of the study parameters ().

Variable	WHR	WC	AG	FPG	DD
Gender (GE)	0.73**	0.36**	0.15**	−0.01	−0.16**
WHR (WHR)		0.56**	0.21**	0.01	0.06
WC (WC)			0.50**	0.05	−0.01
Age (AG)				−0.33**	0.01
FPG (FPG)					−0.02

Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). WHR: waist-to-hip ratio; WC: waist circumference; AG: Age; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; and DD: diabetes duration.
