Blood samples were taken from patients in the morning, before breakfast, and 1 mL of blood collected as part of routine testing was preserved for further analysis, which after centrifugation was frozen and stored at −70 degrees Celsius.
The value of the HOMA-IR (Homeostatic model assessment) index was calculated using the following formula:
HOMA-IR = fasting insulinemia (mU/mL) × fasting glycemia (mmol/L)/22.5 [19 (link)].
The value of the METS-IR (The metabolic score for insulin resistance) was calculates as (In ((2 × fasting glucose) (mg/dL) + TG (mg/dL) × BMI)/(Ln (HDL-C) (mg/dL)) [14 (link)].
TyG index was computed using the formula following: In [fasting glucose (mg/dL) × TG (mg/dL)/2] [19 (link)].
TyG-BMI index was defined as: [fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL) × fasting triglicerydes (mg/dL)/2] × BMI [20 (link)].
TyG-WC was defined as: [fasting glucose (mg/dL) × TG (mg/dL)/2 × WC] [20 (link)].
LCI was calculated using the following formula: ((TC (mmol/L) × TG (mmol/L) × LDL-C (mmol/L))/HDL-C (mmol/L)) [15 (link)].
Castelli’s risk index-I was calculated according to the following formula [9 (link)] = (TC/HDL-C).
Castelli’s risk index-II was calculated according to the following formula [9 (link)] = (LDL-C/HDL-C).
Atherogenic coefficient (AC) was calculated according to the following formula [9 (link)] = (TC-HDL-C/HDL-C).
Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) was calculated according to the following formula [9 (link)] = (log(TG/HDL-C)).
Trigliceryde to HDL-cholesterol was calculated according to the following formula [9 (link)] = (TG/HDL-C).
Anthropometric parameters were measured with the use of standard methods in the morning. These measurements included body weight [kg], height [cm], waist circumference [cm], and hip circumference [cm].
BMI was calculated according to the following formula [21 ]:
BMI = body weight [kg]/height [m]2;
WHR was calculated according to the following formula [22 ]:
WHR = waist circumference [cm]/hip circumference [cm];
WhtR was calculated according to the following formula [22 ]:
WHtR = waist circumference [cm]/height [cm];
BAI was calculated according to the following formula [23 (link)]:
BAI = (hip circumference [cm]/height [m]1.5) [18 (link)];
VAI was calculated according to the following formula [19 (link)]:
VAI = [waist circumference [cm]/(36.58 + (1.89 × BMI))] × (triglyceride concentration [mmol/L]/0.81) × (1.52/HDL concentration [mmol/L]);
LAP was calculated according to the following formula [19 (link)]:
LAP = (waist circumference [cm] − 58) × (triglyceride concentration [mmol/L]);
BRI was calculated according to the following formula [24 (link)]:
BRI = 365.2 − 365.5 × √(1 − (((WC/2π)2)/[(0.5 × height)]2);
ABSI was calculated according to the following formula [24 (link)]:
ABSI = WC[m]/[(BMI)2/3) × (height [m])1/2)].
