  • Non-diabetic: healthy controls from the general population in Copenhagen; Screen-detected diabetes: diabetes screening group defined as subjects who did not report diabetes but who had a fasting blood glucose ≥7 and/or glycated haemoglobin ≥6.5%; Self-reported diabetes: diabetes group defined as subjects who gave an affirmative answer to the question: ‘Have you ever been told that you suffered from diabetes?’

  • * Mutually adjusted for variables shown in the table and age.

  • Statistically significant.
