Abbreviations: GP, general population; HC, health conscious.
^aBased on the glucose=100 scale.
^bMinimally adjusted (adjusted for gender, age, centre and weighted for day of the week and seasons).
^cMinimally adjusted model with additional adjustment for energy using the residual method, height and weight.
^*P<0.05; ^**P<0.01; ^***P<0.0001; correlations ⩾0.30 are shaded.
