Data are odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs. P values were obtained by logistic regression models adjusted for age, education status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, use of antidiabetic medication, dyslipidemia, and fasting serum insulin. Regarding data on childhood passive smoking, there were 28 missing values among men and 50 missing values among women.
