Note: cell entries are standardized regression (β) coefficients, controlling for country, age, sex, education, marital status, type of diabetes, duration of diabetes, sequelae of diabetes, and concomitant diseases. Each cell represents a separate analysis of the listed outcome using the predictor indicated.
