  1. Numbers in brackets mean percentage of an absolute number.
  2. TGC tryglicerides, BMI body mass index.
  3. * To calculate the proportion of individuals with normal waist circumference and HDL-cholesterol among type 1 and 2 DM individuals according to sex, we used the total number of females or males present in each group on the denominator.
