Figure 6 Relative risk (RR) of diabetes according to body weight variation at six months after recruitment. Reference category: weight change <5% (RR 1.00); weight change from 0% to +5% (RR 1.48, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.25 to 1.75, p < 0.0001); weight change from +6% to +10% (RR 1.57, 95% CI 1.26 to 1.96, p < 0.0001); weight change from >+10% (RR 2.13, 95% CI 1.60 to 2.83, p < 0.0001); weight change from 6% to 10% (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.63 to 1.08, p = 0.1664); weight change >10% (RR 0.59, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.94, p < 0.0275). Cox proportional hazard model adjusted for age, gender, body mass index, smoking habits, total cholesterol, number of metabolic syndrome components, presence of peripheral vascular disease, electrical instability, residual ischemia, left ventricular ejection fraction, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, antiplatelet agents, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, statins at six months, and beta-blockers.
