P values were calculated using Mann–Whitney U test for continuous variables and chi-squared test for categorical variables. BMI, body mass index; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; hsCRP, high sensitivity c-reactive protein; IL-6, interleukin-6; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; PAI-1, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1; TGL, triglycerides; TNF alpha, tumor necrosis factor alpha.
