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

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

Interpretation = Betalog-cortisol feature × ln(1.01), β-coefficient interpretation: one percent increase in the cortisol features increases (or decreases) the Avg. annual Δglucose by (β/100) units.

Note: Bold values signifies p < 0.05.
