  1. *P = p-value for univariate comparisons; Data are means (SD) or Frequencies (%)
  2. We used all the data available for each variable to perform the univariate comparisons. We had no missing data for age, race and gender; <1 % missing for BMI at enrollment, diabetes status, hypertension history, income, education and smoking; and 6.7 % missing for BMI at age 21 in cases and 4.1 % in controls
