Total (N = 276) | 0.3581±0.0140 | 1.3057±0.1102 | 908.4±137.0 | 138 (50.0) |
Sedentary (N = 39, 14.1%) | 0.3552±0.0176 | 1.3326±0.1337 | 892.3±153.3 | 22 (56.4) |
Lifestyle active (N = 148, 53.6%) | 0.3581±0.0132 | 1.3062±0.1105 | 910.0±129.3 | 78 (52.7) |
Exercise active (N = 89, 32.2%) | 0.3594±0.0136 | 1.2930±0.0968 | 912.6±143.2 | 38 (42.7) |
p value | .298 | .174 | .726 | .226 |
Notes: Values are mean ± SD or N (%). p values were obtained from analysis of variance or χ2 tests as appropriate. PA = physical activity.
