1Binary logistic regression. Gender adjusted for age (continuous), age ≥60 adjusted for gender, all other variables adjusted for age (continuous) and gender.

2Pre-diabetes: HbA1c ≥5.7% (≥39 mmol/mol) or FPG ≥5.6 mmol/l, models exclude subjects with type 2 diabetes: HbA1c ≥6.5% (≥48 mmol/mol) or FPG ≥7.0 mmol/l or physician diagnosis or Rx diabetes medication use.

3Models exclude 24 subjects that indicated a physician diagnosis or Rx diabetes medication use but who did not have positive HbA1c or FPG test results.

4MetS features: WC (HIGH), triglycerides ≥1.7, HDL-C (LOW), BP ≥130/85 or Rx and insulin 75th percentile.

5Threshold: above median level in the study population except adiponectin (below median level).
