CI, confidence interval. Positive values indicate a better β-cell function (BCF) or insulin sensitivity, negative values indicate a lower BCF or insulin sensitivity. M1: sex, age, insulin sensitivity. M2: M1 + waist-to-hip ratio, cardiovascular diseases, blood pressure expressed in mean arterial pressure, lipid-modifying medication, antihypertensive medication, family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, total intake of energy, and dietary fibre and alcohol intake.
