RR of incident cancer by glucose in quintiles and per 1 mmol/l increment.

aRRs reported with three significant figures, estimated from Cox models with attained age as time scale, stratified by cohort, sex, and birth year, and adjusted for baseline age, BMI, and smoking status, and RRs per 1 mmol/l were additionally adjusted for fasting time. RRs are corrected for RDR; conversion into uncorrected RR = exp(log(RR)×RDR). RDR quintiles: men, 0.30; women, 0.30; all, 0.31. RDR per 1 mmol/l: men, 0.40; women, 0.43; all, 0.41.
bRRs are presented separately for men and women if the number of cases in each group was >50, and combined if the number of cases in each group was ≤50 and if the total number of cases >80.
cRRs per 1 mmol/l increment included individuals with glucose levels <10 mmol/l (99% of individuals). Number of cases corresponds to quintile analyses, which included all individuals.
dPer 100,000 person-years, age-standardized to the European standard population.
eRRs were significant in analyses that also included individuals with glucose levels ≥10 mmol/l.
fOther cancer than the separately presented sites.
