Results were pooled between men and women using inverse variance weights. n = 1,517.

*Multivariate relative risks adjusted for age, fasting status, smoking, alcohol intake, physical activity, duration of diabetes, aspirin use, cholesterol-lowering medication use, family history of MI, history of hypertension, BMI, HDL, A1C, C-reactive protein, intercellular adhesion molecule, insulin use, waist circumference, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and hormone replacement therapy use (women only).
