The independent variables were: age, gender, BMI, waist circumference, FPG, HbA1c, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, Insulinogenic Index, GDR, hs-CRP, IL-6, IL-10, proinsulin/insulin ratio, adiponectin, and TG. The significant standard partial regression coefficient was GDR 0.898 (P < 0.05).
BMI, body mass index; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; GDR, glucose disposal rate; hs-CRP, high-sensitive C reactive protein; IL, interleukin; TG, triglyceride.
