  1. a HOMA-IR, homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance; HOMA-beta, homeostatic model assessment-beta cell function; CRP, C-reactive protein. Numbers of participants differ across outcomes because participants with outlier values (response values > 4 SD from mean) were excluded. Numbers were as follows: fasting plasma glucose: 3169, 605, 300 HOMA-IR: 3193, 612, 303, HOMA-beta: 3188, 608, 299 HbA1c: 2586, 504, 263 HMW adiponectin: 3112, 602, 303 and CRP: 3091, 603, 301.
