Vigorous and moderate physical activity guidelines (defined by the US Department of Health and Human Services [10]) are separately compared with the reference category of not meeting physical activity guidelines. Model 1 accounted for demographic characteristics, model 2 for BMI and waist circumference adjusting for demographic characteristics, and model 3 for metabolic syndrome adjusting for demographic characteristics.
P < .05.
Three BMI categories were used: 1) normal weight, BMI <25.0 kg/m2; 2) overweight, BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m2; and 3) obese, BMI ≥30.0 kg/m2.
Defined as ≥102 cm in men or ≥88 cm in women (16).
Defined as having ≥3 of the 5 diagnostic criteria based on American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute scientific statement (18).
