Hazard Ratios and 95% Confidence Intervals of Diabetes according to Changes in Waist Circumference and Changes in Body Mass Index in Men and Women from the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health Study.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval. DBMI, changes in body mass index. DWC, changes in waist circumference. HR, hazard ratio.
aThe association was different in men and women (interaction, P<0.05).
bThe association was different in men and women (interaction, P<0.05).
cAdjusted for years between examinations, age in 1999–02, chronic diseases, BMI in 1993–97 (analyses of DBMI) or WC in 1993–97 (analyses of DWC).
dAdjusted for smoking habits, Mediterranean diet score, energy intake, education, drinking pattern, sports activity, menopausal status (in women only), BMI in 1993–97 (in analyses of DBMI) or WC in 1993–97 (in analyses of DWC).
eDWC and WC in 1993–97 added to analyses of DBMI and DBMI and BMI in 1993–97 added to analyses of DWC.
fAssociations were accepted to be linear, except DBMI in men. Linear estimates for the association between DBMI and diabetes are therefore not shown in table 4, but the association is presented in figure 4. Furthermore, estimates for DBMI in groups with loss (DBMI< = 0) and gain in BMI (DBMI>0) in men are provided in the text.
