*Number of case subjects with diabetes.

†HRs (95% CI) were stratified by age at cohort entry and adjusted for ethnicity (Japanese American and Native Hawaiian vs. Caucasian), physical activity (quintiles), education (12–15 and >15 vs. ≤12 years), energy intake (log-transformed), BMI (continuous), alcohol intake (quintiles), smoking status (past and current vs. never), marital status, and self-reported high blood pressure at baseline.
