Correlates Among Perceived Risk for T2DM, Activity, and Diet
Correlates Among Perceived Risk for T2DM, Activity, and Diet
There was no correlation found between perceived risk for T2DM and dietary intake. The Pearson productmoment correlation was r = -0.072 (p = 0.265). However, there was a significant positive association between the perceived risk subscale "dread" and carbohydrate intake (r = 0.282, p = 0.01). There was a significant inverse association between perceived risk subscale "dread" and fat intake (r = - 0.262, p = 0.02) (see Table 3).
A significant inverse association was observed between perceived risk for T2DM and strenuous activity. The Pearson product moment correlation was (r = -0.251, p = 0.02) and a significant inverse association was noted between total leisure and perceived risk for T2DM (r = -0.224, p = 0.04). There were also two significant positive correlations, one between total leisure and dread (not known) (r = 0.225, p = 0.046) and the other between mild activity and personal control (r = 0.237, p = 0.03) (see Table 4).

Perceived Risk for T2DM and Dietary Intake
There was no correlation found between perceived risk for T2DM and dietary intake. The Pearson productmoment correlation was r = -0.072 (p = 0.265). However, there was a significant positive association between the perceived risk subscale "dread" and carbohydrate intake (r = 0.282, p = 0.01). There was a significant inverse association between perceived risk subscale "dread" and fat intake (r = - 0.262, p = 0.02) (see Table 3).
Perceived Risk for T2DM And Physical Activity
A significant inverse association was observed between perceived risk for T2DM and strenuous activity. The Pearson product moment correlation was (r = -0.251, p = 0.02) and a significant inverse association was noted between total leisure and perceived risk for T2DM (r = -0.224, p = 0.04). There were also two significant positive correlations, one between total leisure and dread (not known) (r = 0.225, p = 0.046) and the other between mild activity and personal control (r = 0.237, p = 0.03) (see Table 4).
