  1. 1 Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance - HOMA-IR levels ≥2.5 indicates insulin resistance [43]
  2. 2 Body Mass Index - BMI < 18.5 kg/m2, normal weight 18.5–24.9 kg/m2, overweight 25–29.9 kg/m2, and obese ≥30 kg/m2 [44]
  3. 3 Percent body fat
  4. 4 Risky waist circumference: > 102 cm in men, > 88 cm in women [44]
  5. 5 Triglycerides – Normal levels: < 150 mg/ dL [45]
  6. 6 High Density Lipoproteins – Normal levels: ≥40 mg/ dL, ≥50 mg/ dL [45]
  7. 7 C-Reactive Protein – Low/ moderate levels: < 3 mg/L [46]
