HRs and their 95% CIs were calculated by using Cox proportional hazards regression models. We imputed missing values for covariables before modeling. For the HR1 analysis, all participants were included, while for the HR2 analysis, participants with missing data were excluded. Model 1 is adjusted for sex, age, race/ethnicity, and randomized multivitamin assignment. Model 2 is model 1 plus education, smoking, alcohol intake, physical activity, AHEI, family history of diabetes, and BMI. In the per-protocol analysis, follow-up was censored on time of noncompliance evaluated by taking <75% of the study pills.
