Data are presented as median and interquartile range or percentage.

¹P values were from one-way analysis of variance.

²Smoking status was classified as either ever-smokers or never-smokers.

T2DM: Type 2 prediabetes/diabetes mellitus; NODAP: New-onset prediabetes/diabetes after acute pancreatitis; HDL: High-density lipoproteins; LDL: Low-density lipoprotein; HOMA-IR: Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance.
