For every standard deviation unit increase in [physical activity domain], there was an average [increase/decrease] of [XX] units in [cardiovascular disease risk factor].

Adjusted for baseline physical activity behaviour, age, randomization group, change in smoking, change in calorie intake and change in medication use (total cholesterol adjusted for change in lipid-lowering medication, systolic blood pressure adjusted for change in anti-hypertensive medication, HbA1c adjusted for glucose-lowering medication at 1 year, and modelled cardiovascular disease risk adjusted for change in lipid-lowering, anti-hypertensive medication and glucose-lowering medication at 1 year).

Includes only participants who had a job at baseline and after 1 year.

§

Calculated using the UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) risk engine (version 3), excluding participants who experienced a previous heart attack or stroke.

MET, metabolic equivalent.
