Regression Models Predicting Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors with Pedometer Counts
| Model | β | B | SE | p | R2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BMI (kg/m2) | −.31 | −.51 | .13 | <0.001 | .20 |
| Percent body fat (%) | −.22 | −.65 | .17 | <0.001 | .54 |
| Waist circumference (cm) | −.29 | −1.16 | .32 | <0.001 | .20 |
| HDL (mg/dL)d | .13 | .61 | .34 | .13 | .16 |
| LDL (mg/dL)d | .09 | .69 | .76 | .23 | .25 |
| T-cholesterol (mg/dL)d | .06 | .58 | .85 | .51 | .42 |
| Triglyceride (mg/dL)d,e | −.19 | −.02 | .01 | .03 | .09 |
| Glucose (mg/dL) | −.17 | −.50 | .24 | .04 | .19 |
| Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)b | −.07 | −.35 | .32 | .10 | .16 |
| Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg)b | .12 | −.35 | .24 | .15 | .10 |
Note: β = standardized coefficient; B = unstandardized coefficient, SE = standard error;
n = 174, except where otherwise noted
Each model includes: age, sex, smoking status, energy intake
Variables are expressed per 1000 pedometer steps
n= 175
Variable was log transformed because of non-normality
