Multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for the development of type 2 diabetes according to the presence or absence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and central obesity. MetS was defined as the presence of at least three MetS components, not including the component of central obesity. Multivariate adjustment was made for sex, age and impaired glucose tolerance. The centers of the boxes are placed at the estimates of HRs. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
