“…Although fasting glucose measurements were available, only one reading was available per participant, thus not allowing its use as a variable to identify individuals with diabetes. However, the validity of using self‐report to identify individuals with type 2 diabetes was studied by Dey et al . and sensitivity was shown to be 77·8% (CI: 57·3–90·6) with a specificity of 95·4% (CI: 87·8–98·9).…”

“…report to identify individuals with type 2 diabetes was studied by Dey et al 20 and sensitivity was shown to be 77Á8% (CI: 57Á3-90Á6) with a specificity of 95Á4% (CI: 87Á8-98Á9). Furthermore, the 45 and Up Study, 21 an Australian cohort study consisting of 266 848 adults, showed that 80% of participants who self-reported a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes on mailed self-administered questionnaires had confirmed diagnosis of type 2 diabetes using administrative databases.…”

“…Self-reported medical history, and especially cardiovascular history, is particularly prone to inaccurate reporting [32]. This is important to consider when interpreting the higher prevalence of vascular risk factors in the FI cohort compared to the PPMI cohort.…”

“…Our results in this community-based cohort of individuals in North Carolina may not be representative of other populations of differing ages or race/ethnicity. Additionally, the diagnoses of DM and CVD were based on participant selfreport of prior doctor diagnosis rather than direct testing (e.g., we do not have HbA1c values) or medical record review, although self-report of these conditions is fairly reliable [17,18]. Our data source is an important strength, as it is a racially diverse sample with 18 years of follow-up.…”
