Table 2. Incidence rate and 5-y risk of incident diabetes and, among those with prevalent diabetes at baseline, diabetes complications by level of fresh fruit consumption.

Measure	New diabetes onset in those without diabetes at baseline (n = 482,591)	Events in people with diabetes at baseline (n = 30,300)
		Death from any cause	Microvascular complications	Macrovascular complications
Overall incidence rate, per 1,000 person-years	2.8	16.5	6.7	55.9
5-y risk by level of fresh fruit consumption, percent*
Never/rarely (non-consumers)	1.5	9.2	3.9	30.0
Monthly	1.5	8.2	3.6	28.6
1–3 d/wk	1.4	8.4	3.2	28.2
4–6 d/wk	1.4	7.7	2.7	27.2
Daily	1.3	7.3	2.8	24.6

*Estimated from rates calculated by multiplying the fully adjusted hazard ratios in each of the five groups (presented in Fig 1 and Table 3) by a common multiple that was chosen so that the weighted mean rate in all five groups matched the overall rate in the whole study.
