  • * (Pre)diabetes means pre-diabetes (impaired fasting glucose/impaired glucose tolerance) or type 2 diabetes.

  • Model 1: adjusted for age and sex.

  • Model 2: like model 1, + smoking, alcohol intake, physical activity and diet (intake of meat and sausage, of salad and vegetables, of whole-grain bread and coffee consumption).

  • § Model 3: like model 2, + blood pressure, hypertriglyceridaemia, waist circumference, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

  • SES, socioeconomic status.
