  • Model 1: adjusted for categorical age, gender, categorical body mass index (BMI), alcohol consumption, smoking status, education, family history of diabetes, history of dyslipidemia and physical activity at work.

  • Model 2: model 1+coffee drinking.

  • HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; HOMA-β, homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function.
