  1. Data of resistin, triglyceride, glucose, iPTH, and hs-CRP levels showed a skewed distribution and were, therefore, log-transformed before analysis
  2. Analysis of the data was done using the univariate linear regression analyses or multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis (adopted factors: waist circumference, total cholesterol, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, eGFR, and hs-CRP)
  3. SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure, HDL-C high density lipoprotein-cholesterol LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, iPTH intact parathyroid hormone, hs-CRP high-sensitivity C-reactive protein
  4. *Values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant
