Abbreviations: CVD = cardiovascular disease; S-MVPA = sufficient moderate and vigorous-intensity physical activity; I-MVPA = insufficient-MVPA. Values are the mean (95% CI) and percentage (95% CI) for continuous and categorical variables, respectively.

a

Cardiovascular disease status was determined based on self-reported medical conditions on coronary artery disease (heart attack and coronary heart disease), heart failure, and stroke that were told by a doctor or other health professionals.

b

P-value is for the between-group differences estimated from a linear regression model for a continuous variable and Rao-Scott x2 test of independence for a categorical variable.

c

Weighted population % indicates the prevalence estimates among US adult women aged ≥18 years old (weighted N = 112,443,001).

d

Weighted % indicates the prevalence estimates within breast cancer survivors.

e

Self-reported cardiovascular health was obtained for adults aged ≥40 years old (n = 645) by asking a series of questions about pain or discomfort in chest.

f

Self-reported physical activity data was used to determine the level of moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity.
