a Clustered bar chart of metabolic syndrome and b box plot of insulin resistance in patients with newly diagnosed bipolar disorder (BD), their unaffected first-degree relatives (UR) and healthy individuals (HC). The lower and upper hinges in the box plot correspond to the first and third quartiles and the upper and lower whiskers extend from the hinge to the largest and lower value, respectively, no further than 1.5 times the interquartile range from the hinge. Data beyond the end of the whiskers are plotted individually. MetS: metabolic syndrome; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance
