Risk of Diabetes in Middle-aged and Older Chinese Women and Men by the Leg–Length-to-Sitting-Height Ratio, HR (95% CI).

Descriptive statistics for the leg-length-to-sitting-height ratio by quintiles of the leg-length-to-sitting-height in women are as follows: Quintile 1: mean = 0.80, range = 0.43–0.82, std = 0.02; Quintile 2: mean = 0.84, range = 0.82–0.85, std = 0.008; Quintile 3: mean = 0.86, range = 0.85–0.88, std = 0.007; Quintile 4: mean = 0.89, range = 0.88–0.91, std = 0.009; Quintile 5: mean = 0.95, range = 0.91–2.02, std = 0.05. Descriptive statistics for the leg-length-to-sitting-height ratio by quintiles of the leg-length-to-sitting-height in men are as follows: Quintile 1: mean = 0.82, range = 0.43–0.84, std = 0.02; Quintile 2: mean = 0.85, range = 0.84–0.87, std = 0.007; Quintile 3: mean = 0.88, range = 0.87–0.89, std = 0.006; Quintile 4: mean = 0.90, range = 0.89–0.91, std = 0.008; Quintile 5: mean = 0.94, range = 0.91–1.46, std = 0.03.*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.
