Data are β-coefficient and 95% CI. Insulin and proinsulin are Ln transformed before inclusion as dependent variables in models. P values are for independent variables in model values.

^aP < 0.05.

^bP < 0.01.

^cP < 0.001.

^dFemales are reference group in model.

^eEuropeans are reference group in model.
