^#For type 2 diabetes and obesity, values are odds ratios with 95% confidence interval.

^*Values were Log transformed.

^†Values were transformed into their squared-root equivalent.

Model: diabetes related trait = age + sex + race + site + BMI + education + CRP + physical activity + LDL + oxLDL + T2D Rx.

Adiposity related trait = age + sex + race + site + smoking + physical activity + LDL + oxLDL.
