Fig. 2From: Age-specific diabetes risk by the number of metabolic syndrome components: a Korean nationwide cohort studyHazard ratios (95% CI) of type 2 diabetes according to the number of metabolic syndrome components by age, sex, and BMI. Hazard ratios a by age, b by sex, and c by BMI. The interaction between metabolic syndrome components and subgroups (age, sex, and BMI) is statistically significant (P < 0.0001). There was a significant increase in diabetes risk with numbers of metabolic syndrome components (P < 0.0001). Multivariable hazard ratios were adjusted for age, sex, alcohol consumption, smoking status, exercise, income, and BMI. Error bars represent upper 95% CIBack to article page
