  1. Serum PG I/II ratio was a measure of the extent of gastric atrophy. A lower serum PG I/II ratio stands for a more extensive condition of gastric atrophy. Serum PG I/II ratio was log transformed for analysis.
  2. Abbreviations: OGTT, oral glucose tolerance test; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; hsCRP, high-sensitive C-reactive protein.
  3. *Adjusted for age and gender except for gender.
  4. †Log transformed for analysis.
  5. ‡Adjusted for age.
