Characteristics of the Study Population Stratified by Fasting Glucose Levels.

<p>The table shows characteristics of the study population: n = 30 with normal fasting glucose, n = 30 with impaired fasting glucose. Data represent mean values ± standard deviation, median with 25^th and 75^th percentiles, or percentages. The p value indicates statistical differences between both groups for the respective variables.</p><p>Characteristics of the Study Population Stratified by Fasting Glucose Levels.</p
