*Adjusted for age, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol intake, family history of diabetes, leisure time physical activity, walking, daily physical activity, hypertension and coffee intake.

Adjusted for variables listed above and baseline hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) value.

Body mass index was divided into quartiles (1st quartile, <21.6 kg/m2 for men and <21.5 kg/m2 for women; 2nd quartile, 21.6–23.5 kg/m2 for men and 21.5–23.4 kg/m2 for women; 3rd quartile, 23.6–25.4 kg/m2 for men and 23.5–25.5 kg/m2 for women; 4th quartile, ≥25.5 kg/m2 for men and ≥25.6 kg/m2 for women).
