Categorization into three groups of activity level; low = low-activity level category (< 5101 steps per day; < 140 aerobic steps per), moderate = moderate-activity level category (5101-8985 steps per day; 140-1500 aerobic steps per day), high = high-activity level category (> 8985 steps per day; > 1500 aerobic steps per day). * P<0.05
