Of the 1,071 adults with normal glucose tolerance or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) at baseline, 906 returned for followup. From these, we excluded 26 participants missing baseline PAI-1 and fibrinogen values, leaving a total of 880 observations. Statistical analyses were conducted in two steps. Using RRR, we identified a food pattern maximizing the explained variation in PAI-1 and fibrinogen. Subsequently, the food patterndiabetes association was evaluated using multivariate logistic regression.
