  1. Data represented as mean ±SD, or median (IQR 25-75) for continuous variables and number and percent for categorical variables
  2. *Chi-square and linear regression were used to test the trend of continuous and categorical variables across quartiles of the empirical dietary index for hyperinsulinemia (as the median value in each quartile), respectively
