The investigators restricted the analyses to individuals ≥ 18 years of age at baseline who were successfully linked to the Ontario Diabetes Database (n = 5,539). The investigators further excluded pregnant women from the sample to increase the accuracy of body weight measurements (n = 36), prevalent cases of diabetes before respondents' 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey interview date (n = 636), underweight individuals (n = 112), and those who had missing information on food security status (n = 16). After these exclusions, the analytic cohort consists of 4,739 individuals, 2,050 men and 2,689 women.
