Mediating effect of BCAAs on the association of HSI with incident type 2 diabetes.

	Coefficient (95% CI) *	Proportion Mediated
Indirect pathway (ab path)	B = 0.033 (95% CI 0.026–0.041)	22.6% **
Total effect (ab + c’ path)	B = 0.146 (95% CI 0.115–0.176)

Analyses were performed according to Preacher and Hayes Procedure. B: unstandardized regression coefficient. Coefficients are adjusted for age and sex. * 95% CIs were bias-corrected confidence intervals after running 2000 bootstrap samples. ** The size of the significant mediated effect is calculated as the standardized indirect effect divided by the standardized total effect multiplied by 100.
