BMI, body mass index; CVD, cardiovascular diseases; PA, physical activity.
Responsive = high risk perception + high PA efficacy belief; Avoidance = high risk perception + low PA efficacy belief; Proactive = low risk perception + high PA efficacy belief; Indifference = low risk perception + low PA efficacy belief.
Entries sharing the same subscripts are not different at p < 0.05.
