Multivariate RRs (with 95% CIs) of type 2 diabetes according to ascending quintiles of intake of cereal fiber (A); the ratio of polyunsaturated fat intake to saturated fat intake (B); intake of trans fat (C); and glycemic load (D). Each of the RRs was adjusted for the other 3 dietary variables and for age (in 5-year categories); time (8 periods); the presence or absence of a family history of diabetes; menopausal status and the use or nonuse of postmenopausal hormone therapy; smoking status (never smoked; former smoker; current smoker, 1–14 cigarettes per day or current smoker, ≥15 cigarettes per day); BMI (<23.0, 23.0–24.9, 25.0–29.9, 30.0–34.9, or ≥35.0); weekly frequency of moderate-to-vigorous exercise (<0.5 h, 0.5–1.9 h, 2.0–3.9 h, 4.0–6.9 h, or ≥7.0 h); and daily alcohol consumption (0 g, 0.1–5.0 g, 5.1–10.0 g, or ≥10.0 g) (11).
