All analyses controlled for primary sampling units, clustering and survey weights. Bold indicates statistical significance at p<0.01. Models adjusted for: age, ethnicity, income, sex, any prescribed medication and accelerometer wear-time.
*Beta coefficients represent the average difference in HbA1c (mmol/mol) (%) for each 30 min/day increment in MVPA.
†Beta coefficients represent the average difference in HbA1c (mmol/mol) (%) for each 1 kg/m2 increment in BMI.
