  1. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median (25th–75th percentile) for continuous variables. The number of subjects and percentage is presented for categorical variables. 2 h-serum glucose, serum glucose after 2 hours from OGTT; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; VAI, visceral adiposity index; LAP, lipid accumulation product; TyG, the product of triglyceride and glucose; HOMA-beta, Homeostatic model assessment beta-cell function (%) = (20 × fasting serum insulin)/(fasting serum glucose − 3.5)7.
