^aOriginal model without any adjustments. ^bAdjusted for age, nationality, regional area, education level, smoking status, alcohol frequency, physical activity, energy intake, fat% intake, protein% intake, body mass index waist-to-hip ratio and hypersensitive C-reactive protein. ^cAdjusted for all the variables in model 2 plus the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance. F-test was implemented implemented for models comparison in multivariable linear regression (P < 0.001)
