Abbreviations: OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; MVPA, moderate to vigorous physical activity (as a continuous variable measured in hours per week)

a

Separate models were examined for each domain of activity and for overall activity

b

Adjusted for number of children <18 in the household, anxiety, perceived stress

c

Adjusted for race/ethnicity, education, perceived stress

d

Adjusted for age, perceived stress

e

Adjusted for education

f

Adjustment for covariates did not alter the estimates by ≥10% for transportation MVPA. Only unadjusted estimates are reported.

g

Adjusted for race/ethnicity, body mass index, perceived stress

h

Adjusted for age
