Data are presented as mean (standard deviation). Non-diabetic subjects were divided into normal weight (BMI<23Kg/m2), overweight/obese (BMI≥23Kg/m2) and obese (BMI ≥25Kg/m2) categories based on BMI cutoff specific for Asian Indians (Lancet 2004;363:157-163). N: Number of subjects; M: males; F: females; WC: waist circumference; WHR: waist-hip ratio; HDL-C: high density lipoprotein-cholesterol; LDL-C: low density lipoprotein-cholesterol; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; FPI: fasting plasma insulin; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance.
