Description including means, standard deviations and percent meeting recommendations for primary outcomes of fruit and vegetable (FV) intake, physical activity (PA) and BMI by residency
| Outcome | Total sample | Urban | Rural | p-value* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (N=784) | (n=210) | (n=574) | ||
| FV intake, M±SD cups/day | 2.8±2.5 | 2.8±1.9 | 2.9±2.8 | 0.19 |
| FV, % meeting recommendations | 9 | 9 | 9 | 0.50 |
| PA, Minutes of moderate-vigorous activity/week | 127±182 | 122±182 | 132±183 | 0.49 |
| PA, Minutes of strength training/week | 25±205 | 18±77 | 31±256 | 0.65 |
| PA, % meeting recommendationsa | 38 | 31 | 41 | 0.005 |
| PA, % meeting recommendationsb | 11 | 9 | 12 | 0.33 |
| BMI (kg/m2), M±SD | 29.1±5.8 | 29.0±6.8 | 28.3±5.3 | 0.11 |
| BMI, categorical %(n)+ | ||||
| Normal Weight (18.05-24.9) | 29(223) | 32(66) | 28(155) | <0.001 |
| Overweight (25.0-29.9) | 35(265) | 24(48) | 39(217) | |
| Obese (30–39.9) | 31(231) | 37(74) | 29(157) | |
| Morbidly Obese (>40) | 5(33) | 7(14) | 4(19) |
*p-value for either ANOVA (F-test) or χ2 tests to determine if differences exist based on urban or rural residency.
PA meeting recommendationsa = >150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity.
PA meeting recommendationsb= >150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity plus 2 days of strength training activities.
+N=752, n=202 urban; n=550 rural. Differential responses due to missing data for BMI.
