< fro. Control subjects have either normal fasting plasma glucose (<5.6 mmol/L), impaired FPG (5.6 to <7.0 mmol/L) or diabetic (≥7.0 mmol/L); HDL: high density lipoprotein; LDL: low density lipoprotein; TG: triglycerides; BMI: body mass index; HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c; CVD: cardiovascular disease. Except for diabetic status, all subjects were classified according to indicated parameters regardless of having diabetes or not.
