Study characteristics by NGT, IFG-NGT, NFG-IGT, IFG/IGT, NDD, known Diabetes and unknown glucose tolerance status.

Data is expressed as Median (IQ-range 25–75) and p-value or % and p-value respectively.Multinomial unadjusted logistic regression analyses and Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon were used for bivariable comparisons with NGT as reference.NGT: normal glucose tolerance, IFG: impaired fasting glucose, NFG: normal fasting glucose, IGT: impaired glucose tolerance, NDD: newly diagnosed diabetes, GGT: gamma-glutamyltransferase, GOT: glutamate-oxalacetate transaminase, GPT: glutamate-pyruvate transaminase, AP: alkaline phosphatase, FLI: Fatty Liver Index, BMI: Body Mass Index, HDL: high density lipoprotein, TC: total cholesterol, HbA1c: glycated hemoglobin, CRP: C-reactive protein.
