Figure 1

Comparison of age and BMI between groups. To reveal differences in age and BMI, the Kruskal-Wallis test was performed. Data presented as median (first–third quartiles). BMI: body mass index; MODY: Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young; T2DM: type 2 diabetes mellitus. (a) Median age in the first control group was 39.5 (31.5–49.5) years, in HNF1A-MODY was 36.5 (30–56) years, and in T2DM was 60 (56–62) years. There was no difference in age () between HNF1A-MODY and the first control group. The T2DM group was older than the first control group () and HNF1A-MODY group (). (b) Median BMI in the first control group was 23.77 (22.85–24.95) kg/m2, in HNF1A-MODY was 25.74 (24.22–29 kg/m2), and in T2DM was 30.25 (27.68–33.25) kg/m2. There was no difference with respect to BMI () between HNF1A-MODY and the first control group. The T2DM group was characterized by higher BMI than control group () and HNF1A-MODY group (). indicates that there was a significant difference between this group and control group.
