All exposure and outcome variables are Z standardized and adjusted for gender and current age; Values are β regression coefficients (99% CI)

Linear regression used for continuous outcomes; Logistic regression used for dichotomous outcomes and represent odds ratios

IFG: Impaired Fasting Glucose; IGT: Impaired Glucose Tolerance; DM: Diabetes Mellitus; IFG, IGT and DM compared against NGT (Normal Glucose Tolerance)
