Early life urban exposure as a risk factor for developing obesity and impaired fasting glucose in later adulthood: results from two cohorts in Thailand

Table 5 Early life urban exposure and risk of developing impaired fasting glucose/diabetes in adulthood (Fasting Blood glucose ≥ 100 gm/dL)

		Model 1	Model 2	Model 3
CMU health worker study:	% (n) with impaired glucose by follow-up	Adjusted OR for impaired glucose (95 % CI) and p-value	Adjusted OR for impaired glucose (95 % CI) and p-value	Adjusted OR for impaired glucose (95 % CI) and p-value
Early Life Residence at age 5
Rural (n = 429)	10.6 % (45)	Reference	Reference	Reference
Urban (n = 679)	11.2 % (76)	0.91(0.43 to 1.90) 0.80	1.01 (0.45 to 2.26) 0.99	0.74 (0.31 to 1.78) 0.50

Fasting glucose at baseline measured in 2008 and followed up was in 2013 in Chiang Mai University (CMU) Health Worker Study
Model 1 adjusted odds ratio (OR) for age, sex, and family history of diabetes
Model 2 adjusted odds ratio for age, sex, family history of diabetes and later urban exposure in adulthood at age 20
Model 3 Adjusted odds ration for age, sex, family history of diabetes, later urban exposure in adulthood at age 20 and current household income at follow up in 2013
No evidence for interactions between early life urban residence and sex
