*

GST2D, N-glycan score for type 2 diabetes prediction, a weighted combination of the selected N-glycans. Weights based on risk estimates in the training cohort (nsubcohort = 1,417, ncases = 495, overlap 44) and evaluated in the validation cohort (nsubcohort = 717, ncases = 248, overlap 20).

GSCVD, the CVD prediction score in men was derived as a weighted combination of GST2D, GP23, and GP16 (men: nsubcohort = 841, ncases = 269, overlap = 33).

In women, only GP5 was selected as robust risk marker, hence no score was derived (women: nsubcohort = 1,343, ncases = 149, overlap = 11).
