Risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), coronary heart disease (CHD) and cerebrovascular disease (CEVD) by several sex-specific upper quantiles of ferritin levels (v. respective lowest categories). Ferritin range for highest quintile: Premenopausal women (Pre-MW) 53–950 µg/L, Postmenopausal women (Post-M) 102–1000 µg/L, Men 169–2251 µg/L. Ferritin range for highest sixtile: Pre-MW 58–950 µg/L, Post-MW 114–1000 µg/L, Men 183–2251 µg/L. Ferritin range for highest septile; Pre-MW 62–950 µg/L, Post-MW 124–1000 µg/L, Men 197–2251 µg/L. Reference (lowest quintile, sixtile or heptile). Unadjusted. Adjusted for age and sex/menopausal status. Adjusted for age, sex/menopausal status, fibrinogen levels, GGT levels, alcohol intake, smoking, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, body mass index and year of survey. The above analysis included survey weights
