  1. SD standard deviation, HOMA-IR homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance index, HbA1c glycated hemoglobin
  2. aValues are presented as n (%) for categorical variables, mean (standard deviation) for age, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, estimated glomerular filtration rate, fasting glucose level, post-load 2-h glucose level, and Hb1Ac or geometric mean (geometric standard deviation) for the other continuous variables
  3. bAlbumin-adjusted serum calcium concentrations (mg/dL)
  4. cp-values are estimated by one-way analysis of variance for categorical variables and bivariate linear regression analysis for continuous variables
