Change in lifestyle behaviors and diabetes risk: evidence from a population-based cohort study with 10 year follow-up

Table 2 Association between type 2 diabetes risk and improvement of lifestyle behaviour between baseline and 10-year follow up

PAFs calculated based on Model 2. Continuous measures are estimates per unit standard deviation of the baseline distribution, except physical activity which is an ordinal 4-point scale
^a Model adjusted for baseline absolute level of behaviour, baseline BMI, sex, marital status, education at baseline in 3 categories, calendar year at baseline, family history of diabetes yes/no, age group at baseline (30, 40 or 50)
^b Model additionally mutually adjusted for achievement status of all recommendations at baseline and 10 year follow-up
^c Reference group is all who did not change, increased less than one SD or decreased their intake
^d Reference group is all who did not change, decreased less than one SD or increased their intake
^e Change in the lifestyle behaviour score ranges from − 5 to +5. Model adjusted for baseline number of total achieved lifestyle behaviour recommendations, baseline BMI, sex, marital status, education at baseline in 3 categories, calendar year at baseline, family history of diabetes yes/no, age group at baseline (30, 40 or 50)
BMI body mass index, CI confidence interval, OR odds ratio, PAF population attributable fraction, SD standard deviation
