  1. aMean differences between predicted cardiometabolic risk group BMI, lipid and glucose profiles were examined using Student’s t-test. The model interactions age, sex with predicted risk was not significant
  2. bMeal challenge test Matsuda Index cut-off of < 8.8 is indicative of insulin resistance
  3. cThe Risk Calculator estimate 10-year and lifetime risks for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), provided by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology. Non-normally distributed risk (%) was log-transformed
  4. dFalse discovery rate post-hoc p-adjustment
