a
Obesity = body mass index > 30kg/m2.
b
Impaired fasting glucose = glucose –100-125 mg/dl.
c
High triglycerides ≥150 mg/dl.
d
Low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) <40 mg/dl in men, <50 mg/dl in women.
e
Multivariate = adjusted for sex, age, obesity, impaired fasting glucose, prevalent diabetes, smoking history, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
f
95% Confidence ilntervals that do not include 1.0 are statistically significant.
g
Non-overlapping confidence intervals indicate statistically significant differences between age groups.
