The analyses were adjusted for age, BMI, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, family history of diabetes, and total energy intakes. Q, quartile.

2

Defined by counting the number of risk alleles of 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms from a genomewide association study, including HHEX (rs1111875), CDKAL1 (rs7756992), IGF2BP2 (rs4402960), SLC30A8 (rs13266634), WFS1 (rs10010131), CDKN2A/B (rs564398, rs10811661), TCF7L2 (rs12255372), PPARG (rs1801282), and KCNJ11 (rs5219).

Values are odds ratios (95% CIs) calculated by using an unconditional logistic regression model.
