Two independent samples Mann-Whitney U^a and two independent samples t-test evaluated the statistical difference between the numerical data. FEC Fecal egg count, N Number, T2DM Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Effect size: r and Hedges’ g (g) value were calculated for two independent samples Mann-Whitney U test and two independent samples t-test, respectively
