The association of maximum handgrip strength and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

BMI = body mass index; OR = odds ratio given for every 10 Newton increase in handgrip strength, with type 2 diabetes mellitus determined by a self-reported physician diagnosis, medication use or a fasting glucose level of ≥7.0 mmol/L (53 mmol/mol); CI = confidence interval; p-value: p value of the likelihood ratio test for handgrip strength
* p-value of the likelihood ratio test for the interaction by ethnicity was non-significant, by sex p = 0.0269 and by BMI (continuous) p = 0.6645. For sex and BMI the stratified analyses are shown in the table.
