Data are presented as means±SD. Nerve conduction velocity unit is m/s. M represents motor, S represents sensory, L represents left, R represents right, T represents tibia, P represents peroneal and Su represents sural.
*P <0.01 compared with tertile 1.
†P <0.05 compared with tertile 1.
‡P <0.05 compared with tertile 2.
