Non-diabetic, healthy controls from the general population in Copenhagen; Screen-detected diabetes, diabetes screening group defined as subjects who did not report diabetes but who had a fasting blood glucose ≥7 and/or glycated haemoglobin ≥6.5%. Self-reported diabetes, diabetes group defined as subjects who gave an affirmative answer to the question: ‘Have you ever been told that you suffered from diabetes?’

*

Mutually adjusted for variables shown in the table and age.

Diabetes was defined as belonging to the ‘screen-detected diabetes group,’ the ‘self-reported diabetes group,’ or the ‘type 2 diabetes group.’ The ‘type 1 diabetes groups’ was regarded as missing data.

Statistically significant.
