In contrast, before any adjustment, the baseline plasma concentrations of other apolipoproteins were associated with the conversion to T2D: apoC-II (hazard ratio (HR) per 1 SD [95% CI] 1.26 [1.06; 1.51], p = 0.010), apoC-III (HR = 1.23 [1.04; 1.46], p = 0.019), apoE (HR = 1.24 [1.06; 1.47], p = 0.009), apoF (HR = 1.24 [1.02; 1.49], p = 0.029), apoH (HR = 1.22 [1.02; 1.45], p = 0.029), apoL1 (HR = 1.31 [1.10; 1.56], p = 0.003). Here, APOE is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
