Multinomial logistic regression was used to model outcome variables of normal, early diabetes, and later diabetes. Model was adjusted for age, race (Black or White race), sex (male or female sex), total energy intake, maximal educational attainment, and parental history of diabetes (yes or no).

The individual components of the CVH score were fitted simultaneously in a stepwise logistic model, and 3 (BMI, BP, and fasting serum glucose) were kept in the best model fit and were statistically significant.

The criteria for poor, intermediate, and ideal in each CVH component were defined as the following: (1) smoking: current smoker, former smoker (quit within ≤12 months), and never smoker or quit within >12 months; (2) physical activity (CARDIA physical activity score): <100, 100–299, and ≥300 exercise units; (3) diet quality (APDQS): tertile 1 (median, 50), tertile 2 (median, 61), and tertile 3 (median, 76); (4) BMI: ≥30, 25–29.9, and <25.5 kg/m2; (5) total cholesterol: ≥240, 200–239 or <200 with medication, and <200 without medication; (6) BP: SBP≥140 mm Hg or DBP≥90 mm Hg, SBP 120–139 mm Hg or DBP 80–89 mm Hg or SBP<120 mm Hg and DBP<80 mm Hg with medication, and SBP<120 mm Hg and DBP<80 mm Hg without medication; (7) fasting serum glucose: ≥126 (NA by study design), 100–125, and <100 mg/dL without medication.
