  1. Data are given as mean ± standard deviation. In comparison to NFG ns = no significance, *p < .05 and **p < 0.01. In comparison to IFG ns = no significance, #p < 0.05 and ##p < 0.01.
  2. NFG normal fasting glucose, IFG impaired fasting glucose, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure.
