Hazard ratios and 95% CI of the association of steps/day with incident diabetes by modifying factors, HCHS/SOL cohort (2008–2017). a Diabetes based on self-reported diagnosis, medications, labs (3 criteria definition, n = 6634). b Diabetes based on medications and labs (2 criteria definition) n = 6633. Predicted estimates at the 2nd percentile (2000 steps/day), 25th percentile (5000 steps/day), 50th percentile (7000 steps/day), 75th percentile (10,000 steps/day), and 90th percentile (14,000 steps/day). Estimates compared to the 10th percentile (3400 steps/day) of steps/day. Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval, HOMA IR = homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, LRT = likelihood ratio test, PA = physical activity. All models adjusted for age (continuous), quadratic term for age, sex (male, female), Latino background by HCHS/SOL field center (17 level categorical variable), education (< high school/no GED, high school/GED, > high school), married/partner status (yes, no), employment (yes, no), years in the US (born in US, < 10 years, > 10 years), self-rated general health (excellent/very good, good, fair/poor), mobility limitations (yes, no), cigarette pack years (continuous), alcoholic drinks per week (continuous), energy intake (continuous), AHEI-2010 (continuous) and accelerometer wear . The model with occupational physical activity as a modifier is only among those who reported part- or full-time employment (n = 3799) and does not include a covariate for employment, but otherwise is adjusted for the same covariates as other models
