Contrasting compositions of sitting, standing, stepping, and sleeping time: associations with glycaemic outcome by diabetes risk

Table 2 Geometric means of behaviours in those with lower and higher risk for diabetes

Diabetes Risk	Lower Risk (n = 376)	Higher Risk (n = 272)	Percentage Difference (95% CI)^b
Geometric means, mins/1440^a
Sitting	526.4 (36.6%)	530.7 (36.9%)	0.49% (−4.44, 5.41)
Standing	287.1 (19.9%)	288.5 (20.0%)	− 3.90% (−9.36, 1.59)
Stepping	120.6 (8.4%)	116.0 (8.1%)	−0.21% (− 2.20, 1.84)
Sleeping	505.8 (35.1%)	504.8 (35.1%)	0.80% (−2.56, 4.08)

^aGeometric means expressed as minutes conducted within a 1440 min composition (percentage rounded to complete number)
^bPercentage difference refers to the log ratio difference between each behaviour per group converted into percentage. Positive estimated difference indicates that the higher risk has a greater level of the given component; negative estimated difference indicates the lower risk has a greater level of the given component. Percentage difference and 95% confidence intervals were determined with bootstrapping. Behaviours with confidence intervals that intersect zero should be considered to not differ by diabetes risk group
