  • Data are standardized on age and sex and presented as medians and quantiles (25th and 75th centile) or n and proportion (%). Wald test was used to join test coefficients for categories of diabetes. The null hypothesis for the Wald test in this context is that all coefficients associated with diabetes status are simultaneously zero, implying no effect of diabetes status on the outcome of interest after adjusting for age and sex. Significant results (p<0.05) are marked with *.

  • *Adherence to recommendations on weekly physical activity according to WHO. Following recommendations of weekly physical activity: ≥150 min MVPA or ≥75 min VPA weekly or an equivalent combination.

  • †Distribution of adherence to recommendations on daily physical activity according to ADA. High inactivity: <5 min MVPA/day, Some activity: ≥5 min MVPA/day and <30 min MVPA/day, Sufficient activity: ≥30 min MVPA/day.

  • ADA, American Diabetes Association; LPA, light physical activity ; MPA, moderate physical activity; MVPA, moderate to vigorous physical activity; SB, sedentary behavior; VPA, vigorous physical activity.
