a

Models were adjusted for age, study site, education, marital status, race, smoking, alcohol, healthy diet score, and season of data collection.

b

Excluded 110 people who reported using hypoglycemic medications or insulin either at baseline or follow-up visit.

c

Acrophase was categorized as early (mean − 1 SD, before 1304 h), normal (mean ± 1 SD, between 1304 and 1529 h), and late (mean + 1 SD, after 1529 h).
