RR (95% CI) in men of incident (n = 18,621) and fatal (n = 6,973) cancer by deciles of glucose.

The risk estimates for decile categories are plotted on the _x_-axis at the mean glucose level for each decile category. IFG indicates the range of impaired fasting glucose in the cohorts among individuals that had fasted more than 8 h before the blood draw, and DM indicates the range of diabetic glucose levels. Glucose levels in the Oslo study I were recalculated (level −0.95) to correspond with enzymatic levels.
