| Development of DM | 117/2584 | 78/594 | 17/68 | 10/25 |
| Model 1b | 2.52 (1.82–3.48) | 6.20 (3.44–11.15) | 10.81 (4.67–24.99) | |

a Model 1: adjusted for age; model 1b: adjusted for age and sex
c,d,e Model 2: as for model 1a,b but also adjusted for blood pressure (<120/80, ≥120/80 mmHg), casual serum glucose (<140, ≥140 mg/dL) (but not in e), BMI (<25, ≥25) (but not in d), currently smoking, and currently drinking alcohol (more often than sometimes, or not)
Model 3: as for model 2c,d,e but also adjusted for total cholesterol (<220, ≥220 mg/dL) and HDL-cholesterol (>40, ≤40 mg/dL)
