Values are odds ratios, adjusted for total energy intake, BMI-continuous, age, total recreational physical activity, pack years of smoking; number of supplements used; fasting status at blood draw, race/ethnic groups, educational levels, regular use of NSAID, statins, unopposed estrogen and/or estrogen plus progesterone hormones, hormone therapy (HT) study arms. Quartile 1 was used as the reference. The bolded numbers represent statistically significant (p < 0.05).

Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes defined based on the American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria: prediabetes—HbA1c 5.7–6.4% or impaired fasting glucose (IFG) 100–125 mg/dL; and type 2 diabetes—HbA1c ≥ 6.5% and IFG ≥ 126 mg/dL.
