*

Incidence rate per 100 p-y (person-years); HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval. LDL low-density lipoprotein; HDL high-density lipoprotein.

Number of incident diabetes cases among placebo- and rosuvastatin-allocated individuals were 158/6009 and 212/5909, respectively.

a

Model 1: Cox proportional hazards ratios were adjusted for age, sex, ethnic origin, education, exercise, family history of diabetes, and smoking

b

Model 2: Cox proportional hazards ratios were adjusted for Model 1 variables + systolic blood pressure, body-mass index, log transformed hsCRP, glycated hemoglobin, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and log transformed triglycerides.

c

Model 2 excludes LDL cholesterol

d

Model 2 excludes HDL cholesterol

e

Model 2 excludes log transformed triglycerides

f

Model 2 excludes HDL cholesterol and log transformed triglycerides

g

Model 2 excludes LDL cholesterol and log transformed triglycerides

h

Model 3 excludes LDL cholesterol and log transformed triglycerides, but includes LPIR score

i

Model 3 excludes LDL cholesterol and log transformed triglycerides, but includes Apolipoprotein B

j

LPIR score ranges from 0 (most insulin sensitive) to 100 (most insulin resistant).
