WC: waist circumference (cm); BMI: body mass index (kg/m2); HbAlc: glycated hemoglobin (%); FBS: fasting blood sugar (mg/dl); TG: triglyceride (mg/dl); HDL: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (mg/dl); SBP: systolic blood pressure (mmHg); DBP: diastolic blood pressure (mmHg). Comparisons between participants with and without hypogonadism were performed using an independent test. ; ; .
