  Fig. 2 Clinical characteristics of people with newly diagnosed diabetes in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) for the period 2013 to 2016, and in our survey, by age group [1]. Values are shown as means for normally distributed variables (age, body mass index [BMI], and waist circumference [WC]) and as medians for non-normally distributed variables (fasting glucose, fasting insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1c], homeostatic model assessment of β-cell function [HOMA-β], homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance [HOMA-IR]). a22 people aged <40 years, 128 people aged 40 to 64 years, and 92 people aged ≥65 years were assessed.
