Unadjusted and multivariable-adjusted HRs for incidence of AF comparing people with and without diabetes by sex, and hazard ratio for women relative to men

	Number	Person-time	Number of patients with AF during FU	Incidence rate (95% CI)	Hazard ratio (95% CI)		Women-to-men ratio (95% CI)
					Diabetes vs no diabetes		(HR in women/HR in men)
					Unadjusted	Adjusted	Unadjusted	Adjusted
Women
No diabetes	1,416,545	6,855,046.80	114 855	1.68 (1.67–1.69)
Type 1 diabetes	21,440	97,121.95	2 557	2.63 (2.53–2.74)	1.50 (1.44–1.56)	1.32 (1.27–1.37)
Type 2 diabetes	158,536	697,591.24	23,556	3.38 (3.33–3.42)	1.93 (1.90–1.96)	1.17 (1.16–1.19)
							1.35 (1.28–1.42)	1.18 (1.12–1.24)	for type 1 diabetes
							1.20 (1.18–1.22)	1.10 (1.08–1.12)	for type 2 diabetes
Men
No diabetes	1,113 974	4 971 106.10	145 269	2.92 (2.91–2.94)
Type 1 diabetes	23,949	103,232.26	3 474	3.37 (3.26–3.48)	1.12 (1.09–1.16)	1.12 (1.08–1.16)
Type 2 diabetes	186,963	751,998.44	37,301	4.96 (4.91–5.01)	1.64 (1.62–1.65)	1.10 (1.09–1.12)

Adjusted for age at inclusion and baseline characteristics (among smoking, obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, alcohol abuse, previous stroke, and non-cardiovascular comorbidities). Women to men ratio > 1 indicates an excess risk for incident AF in women with prevalent type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus compared with men with prevalent similar type of diabetes mellitus
