IL6 and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Higher levels of IL-6 were associated with higher incidence of T2D (hazard ratio [HR] per log-pg/mL higher IL-6 levels, 1·25; 95% CI, 1·10, 1·41; P<·001; Cox regression), with participants in the top decile of IL-6 levels having approximately 2-fold higher hazard compared to the bottom decile (HR, 2·14; 95% CI, 1·21, 3·81; P = 009; Cox regression; absolute rate difference in incident cases per 1000 person-years, 4·2; 95% CI, 2·8, 5·7; eFigure 3).
