Data are HR (95% CI) for type 2 diabetes

a

Adjusted for categorical sleep duration in 1986 (≤5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or ≥10 h/day)

b

Adjusted for race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white or other), diabetes family history, retirement (yes/no), shift work history (≥5 years) and 1986 values of high cholesterol or hypertension (yes/no), menopausal status (premenopausal, post-menopausal current, former or never hormone user), sleep apnoea (ever-diagnosis), snoring (most nights, some nights or never), antidepressant use, smoking status (current, former or never), alcohol consumption in quintiles, diet quality (AHEI-2010) when the dependent variable is physical activity, and physical activity (MET h/week) when the dependent variable is diet quality

c

Additionally adjusted for quintile of change in AHEI-2010 and MET h/week in 1986

d

Additionally adjusted for BMI (<20.9, 21–24.9, 25–29.9, 30.0–31.9, 32.0+ kg/m2) in 1986

e

Additionally adjusted for change in high cholesterol or hypertension, menopausal, snoring, antidepressant use, smoking and alcohol use, AHEI-2010 and MET h/week from 1986–2000

f

Additionally adjusted for quintile of change in BMI from 1986–2000
