Mediating effect of increased total fat mass on the longitudinal associations of moderate to vigorous physical activity from childhood with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in males and females . The mediation structural equation model was adjusted for family history of hypertension/diabetes/high cholesterol/vascular disease, socioeconomic status, and time-varying covariates measured at both baseline and follow-up, such as age, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, smoking status, lean mass, insulin resistance, sedentary time, and light physical activity. β is the standardized regression coefficient. P < .05 was considered to be statistically significant.
