[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS C98IjR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide. In high-income countries, low socio-economic status seems to be related to a high incidence of T2DM, but very little is known about the intermediate factors of this relationship. Method We performed a case-cohort study in eight Western European countries nested in the EPIC study (n=340 234,3.99 million person-years of follow-up). A random sub-cohort of 16835 individuals and a total of 12 403 incident cases of T2DM were identified. Crude and multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios (HR) were estimated for each country and pooled across countries using meta-analytical methods. Age-gender-and country-specific relative indices of inequality (RII) were used as the measure of educational level and RII tertiles were analysed. Results Compared with participants with a high educational level (RII tertile 1), participants with a low educational level (RII tertile 3) had a higher risk of T2DM [HR : 1.77,95% confidence interval (CI) : 1.69-1.85 ; P-trend
