ORs for abnormal glucose tolerance, comparing South Asians to each MESA race/ethnic group

Race/ethnic group	Model 1	Model 2	Model 3	Model 4
White	3.50 (2.77, 4.41)	7.04 (4.53, 10.99)	6.41 (4.05, 10.10)	7.04 (4.41, 11.24)
Chinese American	1.99 (1.46, 2.71)	3.60 (2.32, 5.56)	3.28 (2.10, 5.13)	3.29 (2.10, 5.18)
African American	1.77 (1.38, 2.28)	3.44 (2.13, 5.56)	2.26 (1.39, 3.70)	2.31 (1.41, 3.79)
Hispanic	1.75 (1.38, 2.30)	6.94 (2.96, 6.94)	4.00 (2.58, 6.21)	4.31 (2.76, 6.71)

Data are OR (95% CI). Each OR represents the risk for glycemic impairment for South Asians compared with each race/ethnic group in the MESA. Model 1 was unadjusted. Model 2 was adjusted for age, sex, study site, education level, income level, prior and current smoking status, alcohol use, exercise, BMI, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and hypertension. Model 3 includes all variables in model 2 and hepatic fat attenuation, abdominal visceral fat area, abdominal intermuscular fat area, and pericardial fat volume. Model 4 includes all variables in model 3 and adiponectin and resistin.
