Diabetes related PIFs for men and women based on multivariate-adjusted Hazard Ratiosa
| Exposure Variable | Measure of Association (Multivariate-adjusted Hazard Ratio) | Prevalence of diabetes % (95% CI) | Theoretical Minimum Risk (Scenario 1) | Feasible Minimum Risk (Scenario 2) | PIF (Scenario 1) % | PIF (Scenario 2) % | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Either NDMb (Fasting plasma glucose equal or greater than 7.0 mmol/l) or KDMc (Currently on medication for diabetes) | Men | 1.75 (1.21–2.52) | 9.43 (8.31–10.69) | 0 | 5 | 6.6 | 3.1 |
| women | 2.56 (1.71–3.85) | 10.05 (9.01–11.19) | 0 | 5 | 13.6 | 6.8 | |
a
HRs as an accurate measure of association between diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in men adjusted for age, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, smoking and hypertension medication.
a
HR in women adjusted for age, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, hypertension medication and family history of CVD./
b
NDM stand for newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus./
c
KDM stand for known diabetes mellitus.
