  1. Each value means the b- and p-value between HOMA-IR and each factor; *p < 0.05.
  2. **In Italy, the data of BMI Z-scores was used rather than the data of waist.
  3. BMI, body mass index; B.P., blood pressure; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance.
