  1. The table shows the overall number of participants and participant characteristics such as the number of females and males, the BMI, CRP value, IL-6 value, HbA1c value, the existence of fatty liver and diabetes type 2, as well as the smoking behavior. Depicted are mean values and the respective standard deviation, as well as for disease and smoking behavior the percentages of participants.
