Notes.  Television watching was reported to the nearest 0.25 hours. The dependent variable is ≥ 4.25 hours of TV versus ≤ 4.00 hours of TV. The 4th quartile of BMI is the reference.

Model 1 was adjusted for age (P = 0.036), gender (P = 0.28), BMI quartiles (P = 0.331), currently smoking (P = 0.111), and education (P = 0.019). Participants who were older and had less education were more likely to watch more than 4 hours of TV per day as compared to their counterparts.

Model 1 parameters. χ 2 (11) = 112.8 (N  =  825), P < 0.001. Nagelkerke R-squared = 0.193 with 78.1% of the cases classified correctly.

Model 2 included age (P = 0.051), gender (P = 0.228), BMI quartiles (P = 0.419), currently smoking (P = 0.082), education (P = 0.023), and an adjustment for high glycosylated hemoglobin: high A1C ≥ 6% (P = 0.321), diabetes status by high A1C (P = 0.134).

Model 2 parameters. χ 2 (13)  = 112.8 (N = 819), P < 0.001. Nagelkerke R-squared = 0.197 with 78.6% of the cases classified correctly.
