  1. Abbreviations: HOMA-IR = Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance; BMI = body mass index; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate; UACR = urine albumin creatinine ratio; BNP = B-type natriuretic peptide; CVD = cardiovascular disease
  2. Note: HOMA-IR: median (min and max values per tertile); UACR and BNP: median (interquartile range); all other numerical values: mean (standard deviation); Regarding p-value for difference: for continues variables linear regression was performed with the variable of interest as dependent variable and IR tertile as numerical covariate to assess the presence of a significant trend across tertiles. For categorical variables a chi-square test was performed to assess the presence of a significant difference in distribution across tertiles
