Risk reduction or risk increase presented as OR and 95% CIs for pharmacological treated diabetes, for comparisons between different risk groups according to the health profile

Diabetes OR 95% CIs
Individual lifestyle and biological risk factors
 Smoking: risk point 3–5 vs risk point 1–2 2.35 1.16 to 4.76
 Physical exercise: risk point 3–4 vs risk point 1–2 0.66 0.36 to 1.22
 Alcohol: risk point 2–3 vs risk point 1 1.03 0.55 to 1.94
 Alcohol: risk point 4–5 vs risk point 1 1.07 0.30 to 3.78
 BMI: risk point 3 vs risk point 1–2 3.46 2.19 to 5.48
 BMI: risk point 4–5 vs risk point 1–2 11.97 4.78 to 30.01
 Blood pressure: risk point 2 vs risk point 1 1.23 0.86 to 1.76
 Blood pressure: risk point 3–5 vs risk point 1 1.50 0.73 to 3.08
 Serum cholesterol: risk point 2 vs risk point 1 1.35 0.89 to 2.05
 Serum cholesterol: risk point 3–5 vs risk point 1 1.81 0.78 to 4.19

If the CI includes 1.0, then the risk reduction or increase is not statistically significant.
