Means, standard errors (SEs) and percentages are weighted for survey design. Quartile 1—least regular SRI, Quartile 4—most regular SRI. CI, confidence interval; IRR, incidence rate ratio. Model 1: adjusted for age and sex. Model 2: adjusted for the covariates of Model 1, plus additionally Hispanic/Latino background, study site, work schedule, income, education, depressive symptoms, and follow-up time (as an offset in the Poisson regressions). Model 3: adjusted for the covariates of Model 2, plus additionally midsleep point, sleep duration, and sleep medication use. Model 4: adjusted for the covariates of Model 3, plus additionally body mass index, physical activity, and apnea-hypopnea index.

*HOMA-IR, HOMA-β, and HbA1c were used on the original scale for calculation of ptrend.

During a mean follow-up time of 5.7 years.

Including 30 participants for whom information on self-reported antidiabetic medication use during the last 4 weeks was missing either at the baseline examination or at Visit 2.
