P-values were computed for comparison of differences between women with and without diabetes at baseline. The differences for continuous variables were tested by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tests, non-ordinal categorical variables for tested by chi-square tests, and ordinal variables (including age, total physical activity, smoking intensity among former and current smokers, and BMI) were tested by the Wilcoxon Rank-Sum tests.
