  1. Values are mean ± SD for continuous and frequency (percentage) for categorical variables. IFG (impaired fasting glucose), IGT (impaired glucose tolerance), IGM (impaired glucose metabolism, including subjects with IGT and/or IFG), NGT (normal glucose tolerance), DM (diabetes group), BMI (Body mass index), FPG (Fasting blood glucose in the baseline), ANOVA test *, Chi-Squared test**, P Value < 0.05 is considered as significant
