Blood plasma OP residues correlate with self-reported exposure and diabetic status. a Prevalence of diabetics among humans exposed to OP (n =1686) and not directly exposed to OP (n = 1394). The percentage of diabetic prevalence and non-prevalence are mentioned in the bars. b Plasma acetylcholine esterase (AChE) of people indirectly exposed (n = 303) and directly exposed (n = 499) to OP. Dotted lines represent the reference values for males (green) and females (pink). Regression plot of plasma OP residues vs. blood HbA1c indirectly exposed (n = 303) and directly exposed (n = 499) to (c) MCP, (d) CHL, (e) MAL, (f) MPAR. Horizontal lines represent mean; error bars represent s.e.m; *P < 0.05 Rank sum, Mann–Whitney U Test (b). The hollow circle represents individual values and straight line represents the trend line. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. PCC Pearson correlation coefficient, β regression coefficient (c–f)
