Cox regression adjusted hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval for those with complete covariate data.

Reference category. Non-walkers are referenced within each of the diabetic and normal glucose tolerance groups.

§

Any antihypertensive in past two weeks or SBP≥130 mm Hg or DBP≥85 mm Hg.

#

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol characterized low when <40 mg/dl for men and <50 mg/dl women.
