Association of HbA1c measured in stored erythrocytes and risk of mortality among women with no self-reported history of diabetes. The solid line represents the RR of mortality associated with HbA1c calculated from Cox proportional hazards models. Penalised cubic splines were used to flexibly model the shape of the association. Dashed lines represent the 95% confidence interval. The models were adjusted for age at baseline in 5 year categories, strenuous exercise (rarely/never, <1 time/week, 1–3 times/week, ≥4 times/week), post-menopausal hormone use (never, past, current), multivitamin use (never, past, current), smoking status (never, past, current), BMI (<21, 21–22.9, 23–24.9, 25–26.9, 27–28.9, 29–30.9, ≥31 kg/m2), selfreported history of hypertension (yes or no), and quintile of triacylglycerol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and hsCRP
