Figure 2. Hazard ratios of incident type 2 diabetes by running distance, frequency, total amount, and speed.
Participants were categorized into 6 groups: non-runners and 5 quintiles of each running distance (A), frequency (B), total amount (C), and speed (D). All hazard ratios were adjusted for baseline age, sex, examination year, BMI, smoking status, heavy alcohol drinking, levels of non-running aerobic physical activity, personal history of hypertension, personal history of hypercholesterolemia, ECG abnormality, parental history of diabetes, and baseline fasting glucose. The bars indicate 95% confidence intervals and the dots indicate hazard ratios, which are shown next to the bars.
BMI = body mass index; ECG = electrocardiogram; MET = metabolic equivalent
