Longitudinal associations between the hypothesised mediators and type 2 diabetes, using a time lag approach.

Abstract

<p>Each analysis is adjusted for the potential confounders of SES (measured by educational attainment) and age, as well as secular trends (time by survey). The aim here is to identify the relationship between each mediator and the outcome of type 2 diabetes. The combined effect of all the mediators is modelled in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0172126#pone.0172126.t004" target="_blank">Table 4</a>.</p
