Table 4

Features of the groups classified by the frequency of PD3 status.

Frequency	0	1	2	3	SD
Male : female	1019 : 598	203 : 119	149 : 59	147 : 53
Age					c
BMI
Systolic BP (mmHg)					c
Diastolic BP (mmHg)					c
FPG (mg/dL)					a, b, c
HbA1c (%)					a, b, c
IRI (μU/mL)					c
LDL-C (mg/dL)
HDL-C (mg/dL)					c
TG (mg/dL)
AST (IU/L)

γ-GTP (IU/L)

SD: significant difference; BP: blood pressure; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c; IRI: fasting serum insulin; LDL-C: LDL cholesterol; HDL-C: HDL cholesterol; TG: triglyceride. Except gender, values in this table mean deviation. The row of “SD” shows the significant difference among the groups; “a” means the significant difference between frequencies 1 and 2, “b” means 2 and 3, and “c” means 1 and 3.
