  1. Adjusted for age (continuous), sex (male, female), UK Biobank assessment centre, Townsend Deprivation index (continuous), alcohol consumption (never, previous, current, missing), smoking status (never, previous, current, missing), body mass index (< 25 kg/m2, 25 to 29.9 kg/m2, ≥ 30 kg/m2, missing), physical activity (continuous), diabetes at baseline (yes/no), genotyping batch, and the first 4 genetic principal components
  2. Abbreviations: RERI relative excess risk due to interaction, AP attributable proportion due to interaction, CI confidence interval, PRS polygenic risk score
  3. aDefined by polygenic risk score: low (lowest tertiles), intermediate (second tertiles) and high (highest tertiles)
  4. bTo estimate RERI and AP, the maternal non-smoking category, breastfeeding category and the lowest genetic risk (low PRS) groups were the reference categories
