Model 1: adjusted for demographics (age, sex, race); model 2: adjusted for model 1 + height; model 3: adjusted for model 2 + physical activity (high intensity and walking); model 4: adjusted for model 3 + neuropathy (peroneal motor nerve conduction velocity).

Represents probability of each OGTT measurement or covariate being included in linear regression models.

Insulin measurements at other time points not collected on all individuals so excluded from this analysis.
