For heart rate 400 out of 7241 records were for participants with diabetes. For the HRV indices, 189 out of 2399 records were for participants with diabetes

bpm beats per minute, diff. difference, n number of person-examinations used in the particular analysis

p: p-value for the test of the effect being equal to zero

pinteraction: p-value for interaction with diabetes status

Model 1: Adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, study phase and diabetes. For HRV indices, further adjustment for heart rate obtained as part of the HRV analyses

Model 2: Further adjustment for BMI and physical activity

Model 3: Further adjustment for smoking, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglycerides, tricyclic antidepressants, diuretics and beta blockers
