n, number of participants followed; PY, person-years in a 5-year interval of follow-up; I, diabetes incidence rate in cases per 1000 person-years.

Pre-adolescence is birth to ∼8yr, early adolescence is ∼8yr to ∼13yr, and late adolescence is ∼13yr to ∼18yr (see Methods for precise definitions of the three growth periods).
