BMI: body mass index and HbA1c: glycated hemoglobin.
Normal variables (BMI and HbA1c): the data are shown as mean ± standard deviation.
No normal variables (age, fasting glucose, and postprandial glucose): the data are shown as median (interquartile range).
Categorical variables (gender, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and T2D onset): the data are shown as “percentage of total.”
was considered statistically significant.
