Associations of annual percent change in cortisol feature with annual percent change in glucose over 6 years stratified by diabetes status (Normal: N = 337, Impaired fasting glucose: N = 101 and Diabetes: N = 74).

Model 0: adjust for age, sex, race/ethnicity.

Model 1: adjust for age, sex, race/ethnicity, physical activity, smoking, CES-D, BMI.

β-coefficient interpretation: One-unit change of Avg. annual ΔWake-up cortisol will result in β unit change in Avg. annual Δglucose.

Note: Bold values signifies p < 0.05.
