  1. PIR: Ratio of family income to poverty, PBG: postprandial glucose
  2. Continuous variables are expressed as Mean +/- SD, with P-values calculated from weighted linear regression models. Categorical variables are expressed as percentages(%), with P-values calculated by weighted chi-square tests
