Data are presented as HR (95% CI), estimated using inverse probabilities weighted Cox regression models, for mean follow-up of 8.8 (SD 6.1) years

aMVPA was taken at the first wave with available measurement after diabetes diagnosis

bAdjusted for age (as time-scale), sex, ethnicity, marital status, education, occupational position, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and fruits and vegetables intake

cAdditionally adjusted for hypertension, total cholesterol, SF-36 mental and physical component summary scores, CVD drugs and prevalent CVD

dInactive, 0 h/week of MVPA; below recommendations, 0.1–2.4 h/week of MVPA and <1.25 h/week of VPA; following recommendations, ≥2.5 h/week of MVPA or ≥1.25 h/week of VPA

eInactive, 0 h/week of MVPA; active, >0 h/week of MVPA

fNo, <2.5 h/week of MVPA and <1.25 h/week of VPA; yes ≥2.5 h/week of MVPA or ≥1.25 h/week of VPA
