Table 2.

Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the incidence of gastric cancer according to quartiles of fasting glucose variability assessed by VIM

Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index.

Model 2: additionally adjusted for smoking status, alcohol consumption, regular exercise, income level, family history of cancer, mean fasting glucose level, and number/mean interval of FPG measurements.

FPG, fasting plasma glucose; IFG, impaired fasting glucose; NFG, normal fasting glucose; VIM, variability independent of the mean.
