| Cox proportional hazards method was used with inactive LTPA as the reference category and adjustment for the confounders at baseline, including age, sex, marital status, education, physical labour at work, smoking, alcohol drinking, sleep duration, vegetable intake, systolic blood pressure, heart rate and total cholesterol. Volume of LTPA was classified as inactive (< 3.75 MET·h/week, low (3.75–7.5 MET·h/ week), moderate (7.5–15.0 MET·h/week) and high (≥ 15.0 MET ·h/week). IFG: impaired fasting glucose; LTPA: leisure-time physical activity. |
