Abbreviations: Cohort I; participants with normal or impaired glucose regulation, Cohort II; participants with type 2 diabetes, HDL; high density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL; low density lipoprotein cholesterol, HbA1c; glycated haemoglobin. a: Generalised linear regression model coefficient represents the mean change in the phenotypic trait for one unit change (increase) in Tpred score.

Cohort II is additionally adjusted for usage of glucose lowering medication.
