  1. BMI body mass index, HOMA-IR Homeostatic Model Assessment-insulin resistance, TG triglyceride, LDL low density lipoprotein, HDL high density lipoprotein, EAT epicardial adipose tissue. Continuous variables were compared with an independent-samples t-tests or the Mann–Whitney U test, and categorical variables were compared using Pearson’s chi-square test. A p value of <0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance for all tests
