Risk of Diabetes in Middle-aged and Older Chinese Women by Height Components, HR (95% CI).

Descriptive statistics for height components by quintiles in women: Height (m): Quintile 1: mean = 1.50, range = 1.19–1.54, std = 0.03; Quintile 2: mean = 1.55, range = 1.54–1.57, std = 0.008; Quintile 3: mean = 1.58, range = 1.57–1.60, std = 0.008; Quintile 4: mean = 1.61, range = 1.60–1.63, std = 0.009; Quintile 5: mean = 1.66, range = 1.63–1.86, std = 0.02. Leg Length (cm): Quintile 1: mean = 68.3, range = 0.40–0.70, std = 1.86; Quintile 2: mean = 71.4, range = 70–72.3, std = 0.59; Quintile 3: mean = 73.4, range = 72.3–74.0, std = 0.54; Quintile 4: mean = 75.4, range = 74.05–76.5, std = 0.60; Quintile 5: mean = 78.9, range = 76.5–105.0, std = 2.18. Sitting height (cm): Quintile 1: mean = 80.3, range = 52.0–82.0, std = 2.13; Quintile 2: mean = 83.5, range = 82.1–84.0, std = 0.53; Quintile 3: mean = 85.0, range = 84.1–85.9, std = 0.30; Quintile 4: mean = 86.5, range = 86.0–87.0, std = 0.47; Quintile 5: mean = 89.2, range = 87.1–105.0, std = 1.48.*Expressed as per standard deviation change. Model 1: univariate analyses. Model 2 controlled for birth cohort, education, and income. Model 3 controlled for birth cohort, education, income, and BMI at baseline. Model 4 controlled for birth cohort, education, income, smoking before age 20, BMI at age 20, BMI at baseline, and participation in team sports during adolescence.
