Table 2. Performance of logistic regression models for prediction of prevalent diabetes with and without the DNN score in the Test Dataset.

All models are shown without (“a”) and with (“b”) inclusion of the DNN score as a predictor. Models 1-3 are nested models, containing incrementally more demographic predictors and BMI. Model 4 adjusts for heart rate and heart rate variability. Model 5 adjusts for common cardiovascular comorbidities. Sample sizes reported indicate individual people.

Abbreviations: LogReg: logistic regression; OR: diagnostic odds-ratio; BMI: body mass index; CI: Confidence Interval; DNN: Deep neural network; SD: standard deviation; AUC: area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; HR: Heart Rate; HRV: Heart Rate Variability; RMSSD: Root Mean Square of Successive RR interval differences; y: years. Independent variables were standardized using the Z-score.

p-value is calculated using the Wald test for the multivariable adjusted odds ratio (two-sided).
