Dependent variables are listed horizontally, and independent variables are listed vertically; 𝛽: standardized correlation coefficients (95% confidence interval); 𝑅²: adjusted determination coefficient (significant in bold = 𝑃≤0.05); BMI: body mass index; WC: waist circumference; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; HbA1c: glycosylated hemoglobin; hs-CRP: high sensitivity C-reactive protein.
