Non-penalised cubic splines for the association between physical activity domains and incident type 2 diabetes. Data are presented as hazard ratios (HR) and their 95% CI. The top row of the panel was adjusted for age, sex, deprivation, education, ethnicity, alcohol intake and smoking status. The second row was additionally adjusted for BMI. The bottom row was adjusted for the same covariates as the middle row but include a 2-year landmark analysis. Vertical dotted lines represent the current PA recommendations for moderate and vigorous PA. LPA, light physical activity; MPA, moderate physical activity; MVPA, moderate-vigorous physical activity; PA, physical activity; T2D, type 2 diabetes; VPA, vigorous physical activity. MVPA is the sum of time spent on MPA and VPA × 2
