Adjusted for sex, duration of diabetes, and rural/urban status.
Data are presented as adjusted mean and 95% CI (in parentheses).
p values represent results from groupwise comparison between participants reporting no vigorous intensity physical activity and those reporting vigorous-intensity physical activity.
DBP, diastolic blood pressure; MAP, mean arterial pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
