  1. a Adjusted model created by backward elimination (starting with all variables tested in bivariate models), variables significantly associated with undiagnosed prediabetes or T2D were kept in the model.
  2. b Based on Schneeweiss’s scoring system [27] (Schneeweiss, 2003 #258)
  3. c Calculated from internal validation using Bootstrap analysis
  4. d Body mass index
