Strategies and design of the current study. The health examinations in the Kailuan Study were provided around every 2 years, except for the current last visit, with a time span of approximately 3 years owing to the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. For the current study, the path analysis addressing the temporal relationship between AIP and hsCRP was based on data measured in 2006/2007 and 2010/2011. For the survival analysis of T2DM outcome, the cumulative exposure period was from 2006/2007 to 2010/2011. At the end of Visit_2010/2011, the nondiabetic participants were followed up biannually through December 31, 2020. Baseline characteristics were based on the information in Visit_2010/2011
