  2. aIncident cases cumulating by 2013 divided by population without diabetes at baseline
  3. bModel 1 is age adjusted
  4. cModel 2 is adjusted for age, education, income, area of childhood residence, physical activity, smoking, alcohol intake, fruit and vegetable intake, and sugar sweetened beverage intake. These variables were selected using directed acyclic graphs (see methods)
