Note: FPG, fasting plasma glucose; IFG, impaired fasting glucose. †Status of FPG, including mean FPG and IFG. ‡Wasting patients were not included for analysis. Trend analysis was carried out by Chi-square test to examine the trend of IFG prevalence with increasing weight status. P values <0.05 are presented in bold.
