HRs (95% CIs) for developing type 2 diabetes for a 1-SD increment in the dietary-pattern scores (a, AHEI; b, DASH; c, RRR1; d, RRR2; e, RRR3) stratified by country and meta-analysed using a random-effects model, EPIC-InterAct study (n = 21,616). Note that the scale of the x-axis is non-linear. Model 4 adjustments were applied (stratified by age and study centre [applicable for country-specific analyses only] and adjusted for sex, physical activity, smoking status, education, total energy intake, BMI and waist circumference). In (d) the German study population is labelled ‘Heidelberg’ because Potsdam was excluded since it was used in the derivation of RRR2
