T1D: type 1 diabetes

a

Sensitivity analysis included 18 EDC women who provided self-reported age at natural menopause without sex hormone data prior to the 22-year assessment.

Models were constructed among study participants with complete covariate data

b

Model controlled for race

c

Model controlled for baseline age, race, BMI, smoking status, blood pressure, HDL-C, non-HDL-C, number of pregnancies, and having ever taken oral contraceptives
