Linear regression analysis was performed for evaluating the effect of the HMGA1 variant on HOMA-IR, adding age, gender, and BMI as covariates. FBG, fasting blood glucose. FSI, Fasting serum insulin. HOMA2-B%, Homeostatic model assessment method 2 for beta cells function. HOMA2-S%, Homeostatic model assessment method 2 for insulin sensitivity. HOMA2-IR, Homeostatic model assessment method 2 for insulin resistance.
