Joint association of alcohol consumption and the timing of alcohol intake with respect to meals in relation to T2D-related biomarkers. (A) CRP, (B) HbA1c, (C) HDL-C. Results were adjusted for age, sex, race, BMI, physical activity, smoking (never, past, current), healthy diet score, Townsend deprivation index, hypertension, high cholesterol, family history of score, frequency of alcohol intake, and fasting time (for CRP and HDL-C analyses). For analyses on HDL-C, we also further excluded participants with high cholesterol. ¹Linear trend; ²quadratic trend. CRP, C-reactive protein; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
