All models: HRs (95 % CI) derived from multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. Model 1 was adjusted for age, sex, and total energy intake, n = 61,869; model 2 was adjusted for model 1 covariates plus education, n = 61,714; model 3 was adjusted for model 2 covariates plus BMI, n = 61,714; model 4 was adjusted for model 3 covariates plus family history of diabetes, n = 61,714; model 5 was adjusted for model 4 covariates plus blood glucose level at baseline, n = 61,512.
