Forest plots illustrating risk for incident type 2 diabetes in A) cases with normal glucose levels†and B) cases with elevated glucose levels‡. †Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) < 6.1 and 2-hour capillary plasma glucose (2hPG) < 8.9 mmol/L. ‡ FPG 6.1-6.9 and/or 2hPG 8.9-12.1 mmol/L. Conditional logistic regression analysis performed with complete data sets. ORs with 95% CIs, per increment of 1 SD. Multivariate analysis including body mass index, smoking (non/ ex/ daily smoking), family history of T2DM, physical activity (sedentary/ moderate/ active), C-reactive protein, systolic blood pressure and triglycerides and one of the haemostatic variables (tPA: tissue plasminogen activator; PAI-1: plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, tPA/PAI-1 complex) or VWF: von Willebrand Factor. Natural logarithm transformation was used for C-reactive protein, triglycerides, tPA, PAI-1 and tPA/PAI-1 complex. OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence Interval; SD: standard deviation.
