a;b. Continuous data were described as a mean ± SD and median (interquartile range). Categorical data were described as numbers (%). The chi-square test, independent sample t-test, and Mann–Whitney U test were used where appropriate. NFG = normal fasting glucose; IFG = impaired fasting glucose; RHR = resting heart rate; BMI = body mass index; WC = waist circumference; HC = hip circumference; WHR = waist-to-hip ratio; FBG = fasting blood glucose; TC = total cholesterol; HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG = triglyceride; LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HT = hypertension; MetS = metabolic syndrome.
