  1. Beta coefficients presented with 95% confidence interval (CI). Coefficient corresponds to association of time spent in the behaviour with log glucose outcome
  2. All confounder adjusted models adjusted for age, menopausal status (pre, peri, post-menopausal, male), education attainment, income category, smoking category, depression, diet quality, energy intake, alcohol, and calcium intake
  3. ap-value interaction indicates where association is statistically different by diabetes risk
  4. *Indicates a statistically significant association, and statistically significant interaction by diabetes risk using p < 0.05 in two tailed analyses
