Data are ORs (95% CI). Model I was adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index. Model II was adjusted for the variables in model I plus histories of hypertension, tumors, stroke, and coronary heart disease, smoking status, alcohol intake, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, strenuous activity, education level, and family histories of T2DM and tumors.
