Note. Data are from respondents who completed a paper and pencil mailed survey for the 2007 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS).
a The p values adjacent to each variable name (sex, age, race/ethnicity, and so on) represent the association between the variable and physical activity or fruit and vegetable intake.
