Joint association (RRs from Cox proportional hazards models) of alcohol intake and glycemic load on T2D risk. All MV models were adjusted for age (in mo), family history of T2D (yes or no), BMI (in kg/m²; <21, 21–22.9, 23–24.9, 25–26.9, 27–29.9, 30–32.9, 33–34.9, 35–39.9, or ≥40), energy intake (kcal; continuous), cereal fiber intake (quintiles; g/d), physical activity (1 to <3, 3 to <9, 9 to <18, 18 to <27, or ≥27 metabolic equivalent task hours/wk), smoking status (never, past, or currently 1–14, 15–24, or ≥25 cigarettes/d), menopausal status and hormone use (premenopausal, postmenopausal and never used hormones, postmenopausal and current hormone users, or postmenopausal and past hormone users), coffee intake (quintiles; cups/d; 1 cup = 237 mL), ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acids (quintiles), trans fat intake (quintiles; percentage of total energy), and red-meat consumption (quintiles; servings/d). At baseline, the number of participants in each alcohol category was as follows: 53,102 for alcohol intake 0 to <5 g/d with the number of participants from quintiles 1 to 5 of glycemic load being 9156, 9707, 11,111, 11,341, and 11,787, respectively; 18,681 participants for alcohol intake 5 to <15 g/d with the number of participants from quintiles 1 to 5 of glycemic load being 4413, 3923, 3843, 3658, and 2844, respectively; and 10,044 participants for alcohol intake ≥15 g/d with the number of participants from quintiles 1 to 5 of glycemic load being 2970, 2158, 1857, 1711, and 1348, respectively.
