Results expressed per 1 SD unit increase.

a

Model adjustment 1: results adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and clinic.

b

Model adjustment 2: results adjusted for variables in model adjustment 1, but fasting glucose and 2-h glucose were both included in all models as independent variables.

c

Model adjustment 3: similar to model adjustment 2, but results were also adjusted for waist circumference and SI.

d

P < .01.

e

P < .05.

f

P < .001.

g

Log-transformed variable.
