  1. TG: triglyceride, TC: total cholesterol, LDL: low-density lipoprotein, HDL: high-density lipoprotein, HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, BMI z-score: age and sex- corrected body mass index, TG:HDL-C ratio of TG to HDL. Correlation was estimated using Pearson correlation coefficient. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.000.
