Associations between MFP-selected, mutually adjusted IgG glycans and incident type 2 diabetes in the EPIC-Potsdam cohort

Type 2 diabetes in EPIC-Potsdam per SD, HR (95% CI)
Model 1 (n = 2,804) Model 2 (n = 2,801) Model 3 (n = 2,678)
IgG-GP
 IgG-GP7 0.84 (0.77–0.93) 0.96 (0.87–1.07) 0.99 (0.88–1.11)
 IgG-GP8 0.81 (0.73–0.89) 0.88 (0.78–1.00) 0.88 (0.77–1.01)

 IgG-GP19 0.85 (0.77–0.93) 0.98 (0.88–1.09) 1.04 (0.92–1.17)
IgG glycan score for type 2 diabetes risk 1.49 (1.35–1.65) 1.29 (1.15–1.44) 1.21 (1.08–1.35)

The shown IgG-GPs were independently associated with type 2 diabetes risk in MFP models (MFP selection based on model 1). The HRs of single IgG-GPs are mutually adjusted. The IgG glycan score for type 2 diabetes risk is a linear combination of the selected glycans, weighted by the regression coefficient from the mutually adjusted Cox model. Model 1 is adjusted for age (strata variable) and sex. Model 2 is additionally adjusted for education (three categories), smoking (four categories), alcohol intake (six categories), physical activity (sports, biking h/week), BMI, waist circumference, prevalent hypertension, antihypertensive and lipid-lowering drugs, and use of aspirin. Model 3 is model 2 adjusted for estimated glomerular filtration rate, total cholesterol, HDL, triglycerides, hs-CRP, and adiponectin. Boldface indicates significance after FDR correction.
