Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval of diabetes according to the quintile of serum ferritin levels

Serum ferritin range, ng/mL Model 1 Model 2
Quintile 1 <44.3 1.21 (1.02∼1.43) 1.18 (0.99∼1.41)
Quintile 2 44.3∼68.2 1.07 (0.90∼1.27) 1.04 (0.87∼1.24)
Quintile 3 68.3∼95.1 1.00 (reference) 1.00 (reference)
Quintile 4 95.2∼140.4 1.36 (1.15∼1.60) 1.30 (1.09∼1.54)

Model 1 was adjusted for age and sex. Model 2 was adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, waist circumference, smoking, alcohol intake, regular exercise, anti-hypertensive medication, dyslipidemia medication, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, log-transformed triglyceride, HDL cholesterol and log-transformed hs-CRP.

Abbreviations: HDL, high-density lipoproteincholesterol; hs-CRP, high sensitivity C-reactive protein.
