All models were adjusted for age, race (White or non-White), family history of diabetes (yes or no), alcohol consumption (0, 0.1–4.9, 5–9.9, 10–14.9, ≥15 g/day), total calorie intake (quintiles), smoking status (never, quit≥10yrs, quit<10 yrs, or current smokers), intake of dietary factors including trans fat, polyunsaturated fat to saturated fat ratio, cereal fiber, whole grain, and glycemic load (quintiles), body mass index (<18.5, 18.5–24.9, 25–29.9, 30–34.9, ≥35 kg/m2), high blood pressure at baseline (yes or no), medication use at baseline (i.e., betablocker, thiazide diuretic, furosemide-like diuretic, calcium channel blocker, other antihypertensive drug and antiarrhythmic drug) (yes or no) and physical activity (<3, 3–8.9, 9–17.9, 18–26.9, ≥27 MET-h/week)
