Phet: Heterogeneity p value; NA: Not applicable because data from only one study was available.
Analysis of diabetes-related intermediate traits and height reported in the table were performed in non-diabetic individuals.
Values were adjusted for corresponding insulin measurements at same time-points during OGTT.
Results from population studies with no apparent enrichment for or against type 2 diabetes, including 3 studies from the original publication (Iranian TLGS study, Danish Inter99 study and Danish Health2006 study) and ALSPAC.
To avoid “index event bias” or “truncation bias” we used our population based studies (see method and discussion).
For Insulinogenic index we give the meta analysis results including data presented in the original paper from the Inter99 study. For Matsuda index and disposition index we give the meta analysis results including a new analysis of the Inter99 study, not previously presented.
