Geometric means of behaviours in those with lower and higher risk for diabetes

Diabetes Risk Lower Risk (n = 376) Higher Risk (n = 272) Percentage Difference (95% CI)b
Geometric means, mins/1440a
 Sitting 526.4 (36.6%) 530.7 (36.9%) 0.49% (−4.44, 5.41)
 Standing 287.1 (19.9%) 288.5 (20.0%) − 3.90% (−9.36, 1.59)
 Stepping 120.6 (8.4%) 116.0 (8.1%) −0.21% (− 2.20, 1.84)
 Sleeping 505.8 (35.1%) 504.8 (35.1%) 0.80% (−2.56, 4.08)

aGeometric means expressed as minutes conducted within a 1440 min composition (percentage rounded to complete number)

bPercentage difference refers to the log ratio difference between each behaviour per group converted into percentage. Positive estimated difference indicates that the higher risk has a greater level of the given component; negative estimated difference indicates the lower risk has a greater level of the given component. Percentage difference and 95% confidence intervals were determined with bootstrapping. Behaviours with confidence intervals that intersect zero should be considered to not differ by diabetes risk group
