Parameters of glucose metabolism parameters in soil-transmitted helminth uninfected and infected participants.

Abbreviations: BMI = body mass index, WHR = waist to hip ratio, FBG = fasting blood glucose, HOMAIR = Homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance.* WHR is calculated by waist circumference (cm) / hip circumference (cm)** HOMAIR index is calculated with HOMAIR formula = fasting serum insulin x fasting glucose / 22.5, using HOMA2 calculator (https://www.dtu.ox.ac.uk/homacalculator/)# The difference is expressed as increase or decrease in the parameter per increasing number of helminth species per patient (maximum = 3). Insulin and HOMAIR were log-transformed.Parameters of glucose metabolism parameters in soil-transmitted helminth uninfected and infected participants.
