Abbreviation: CESD-10: the 10-item Center for Epidemiology Scale for Depression; BMI: body mass index; BUN: blood urea nitrogen; TG: triglyceride; HDL-c: HDL cholesterol; LDL-c: LDL cholesterol; Hs-CRP: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Data was presented in mean (SD). #Data was described in median (interquartile range). aDiabetic status was newly diagnosed prediabetes or diabetes assessed according to the 2010 American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines. bOthers: individuals without prediabetes or diabetes. cThe Rao-Scott chi-square test for categorical variables and one-way ANOVA test for continuous variables were used to assess the differences between the groups.
