Comparison of baseline characteristics between the respondent versus non-respondent participants. Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS), 2001–2011.

Mean ± SD and median (Inter-quartile range) are shown for continuous variables. BMI: body mass index; WHpR: waist-to-hip-ratio; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; 2h-PCPG: 2-hr post challenge plasma glucose; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglycerides; HDL-C: High density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR: Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance. The important findings of Table: Among women, respondents were older, had lower eGFR, higher FPG and SBP compared with non-respondents. Among men, respondents also had lower eGFR, but higher BMI, WHpR, TG and TC than non-respondents. Comparison between respondent men and women showed that men had higher age, WHpR, FPG, eGFR, TG, SBP, and lower BMI, HDL-C, 2h-PCPG and HOMA-IR level than women.*P-value of the comparison between respondents and non-respondents in men and women, separately.**P-value of the comparison between respondent men and women.† Dyslipidemia was defined as TG ≥ 1.69 mmol/L or total cholesterol ≥ 6.21 mmol/L or HDL-C ‡ Insulin data was available in 2114 respondent (men:819, women: 1295)and 79 non-respondent (men:8, women: 71)population.Comparison of baseline characteristics between the respondent versus non-respondent participants.
