¹One-way ANOVA; ²Pearson’s test. Values expressed in absolute numbers and percentages. Means with the different superscripts in a given row are significantly different at (Tukey’s post hoc test). BMI: body mass index; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; HbA1c: glycated haemoglobin concentration; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; NG: normoglycaemic; PDM: prediabetic; SBP: systolic blood pressure; TC: total cholesterol; WC: waist circumference; WHR: waist to hip ratio; T2DM: type 2 diabetes mellitus.
