After adjustment for additional risk factors (model 2a), adiponectin (OR per sex-specific SD: 0.785 [95% CI 0.617, 0.999] and MASP (1.306 [1.052, 1.621]) remained significantly associated with incident type 2 diabetes (Fig. 2); MASP also remained significantly associated with incident (pre)diabetes (1.241 [1.036, 1.486]). Here, MASP1 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
