  • Model 1: adjusted for age (per 1 year), sex and parental history for diabetes.

  • Model 2: model 1+ overweight, hypertension, current smoking and current drinking, physical activity, lipid-lowering treatment, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (per 1 mg/dL) and, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (per 1 mg/dL).

  • Model 3: model 2+ naturally log-transformed high-sensitivity C reactive protein.

  • Model 4: model 3+ fasting blood glucose levels (per 1 mg/dL).

  • The ORs and corresponding CIs for 1 SD increases in naturally log-transformed apolipoprotein C-II or apolipoprotein C-III were calculated using the logistic regression model.

  • IFG, impaired fasting glucose; T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellitus.
