Table 2.
Comparisons of the hazard ratios for incident T2D or MI when the lowest quartile of the consumers is taken as the reference category (as in the present study) versus when the non-consumer group is taken as the reference category. Only data from the basic models (adjusted for gender, age and screening year) are shown. Statistically significant p-values are in superscript.
