  1. Hb hemoglobin, IHG/DM intermediate hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus combined population
  2. aValues are mean ± SD. Data were analyzed by Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test for comparison of means of variables among age. SD, standard deviation
  3. bValues are represented as proportion of prevalence of IHG/DM (95% CI). Data were analyzed by Cochran-Armitage trend test for comparison of proportion of IHG/DM among age groups. CI, confidential interval
