  1. CI, confidence interval; FSG, fasting serum glucose; HR, hazard ratio.
  2. aHRs were calculated by Cox models stratified by age (baseline age, years: 18–24, 25–34, 35–44, 45–54, 55–64, 65–74, 75–84, 85–99), after adjustement for age at baseline, sex (if applicable), smoking status, alcohol use, physical activity, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol.
  3. To convert glucose from mg/dL to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0555.
