Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; ICD-7, International Classification of Diseases, seventh revision.aHRs estimated from Cox proportional hazard regression models with age as the time scale, stratified by cohort, fasting status, and birth year categories, adjusted for baseline age, body mass index categories, and smoking status. HRs corrected for random error by regression dilution ratio (RDR); conversion into uncorrected HR = exp(ln(HR)*RDR), where RDR = 0.644.
