FG, fasting glucose; FI, fasting insulin; GRS, genetic risk score; SDS, standard deviation score; T2D, type 2 diabetes.

aObese individuals: BMI SDS > =2; non-obese individuals: −2 < BMI SDS < 2.

bObese individuals: BMI SDS > =2; non-overweight individuals: −1 < BMI SDS < 1.

cAdjusted for age, sex and family history of T1D and T2D.
