Table 2. Physical exercise assessment by accelerometer and 7-day PAR.
Accelerometer | Median/n | IQR/(%) |
Counts/minute | 237.28 | 177.93–306.68 |
Sedentary (minutes/day) | 1057.12 | 1012.30–1119.79 |
Light (minutes/day) | 327.79 | 275. 97–363.47 |
Moderate (minutes/day) | 45.14 | 27.26–65.62 |
Hard and very hard (minutes/day) | 0.00 | 0.00–0.45 |
Kilocalories/day (KCALS) | 241.53 | 130.07–402.67 |
7- day PAR | ||
METs/hour/week | 8 | 0.00–25.41 |
Active/sedentary according 7-par day | ||
Sedentary n (%) | 879 | 68.20 |
Active n (%) | 405 | 31.80 |
Values are medians and interquartile range(IQR) for asymmetrically distributed continuous data and number and proportions for categorical data.
METs: metabolic equivalent. Active were considered as those doing at least 30 minutes of moderate activity, five days a week, or at least 20 minutes of hard activity, 3 days a week.
