Sensitivity analyses: 1: Self-reported data were ascertained at interview by asking respondents if they ever received a diagnosis of diabetes from a physician. 2: Individuals with diabetes (6.5%) or high risk for diabetes (6.1%) or below this threshold but currently on treatment for diabetes were included in the numerator. 3: Measured height and weight at survey were used to evaluate BMI. 4: Models were implemented with stratification on gender; 5: adjustment for smoking status was carried out using the categories never, former and current smoker.
