Figure 1 Fasting glucose quartiles and the risk of myocardial infarction in all subjects. The odds of a myocardial infarction increase with glucose quartile (A) even after subjects with diabetes are excluded (B), subjects with both diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance are excluded (C) and subjects with diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glucose are excluded (D). (D) only includes subjects whose fasting glucose is <6.1 mmol/l (i.e., those with no IFG). The actual odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals are above the bars.
