The effect of forcing knots to the minority covariate group in the full modela. aKnot placements and expected additional years to live at age 40 are shown in Fig. 2. Additional years expected to live from age 40 years (95% CI): Method 4: Full model with adapted knots (to minority group): ID & T2DM: 31.9 years (26.8, 37.9); ID & No T2DM: 30.1 years (28.4, 31.8); No ID & T2DM: 37.4 years (36.2, 38.5); No ID & No T2DM: 43.3 years (43.0, 43.7)
