Forest plot of the risk of incident type 2 diabetes across CumCRP-by-CumMHR strata stratified by sex and age. G1 CumCRP < 1 mg/L & CumMHR < 0.2340 G2 1 ≤ CumCRP < 3 mg/L & CumMHR < 0.2340; G3 CumCRP ≥ 3 mg/L & CumMHR < 0.2340; G4 CumCRP < 1 mg/L & CumMHR ≥ 0.2340; G5 1 ≤ CumCRP < 3 mg/L & CumMHR ≥ 0.2340; G6 CumCRP ≥ 3 mg/L & CumMHR ≥ 0.2340. P-interanion: CumCRP-by-CumMHR strata × sex (male/female) = 0.0032; CumCRP-by-CumMHR strata × age subgroups (< 40, 40 ~ 49, 50 ~ 59, 60 ~ 69, or ≥ 70 years) = 0.0074. All models were adjusted for age (continuous), sex (except for sex subgroup analysis), education, smoking status, drinking status, physical activity, family history of diabetes, BMI (categorical), FBG (continuous), hypertension (categorical), logTG (continuous), LDL-C (continuous), eGFR (categorical), use of antihypertensives (yes or no), use of lipid-lowering drugs (yes or no), and log(leukocyte) (continuous).
