Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; HTN, hypertension; HDL-Chol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; IFG, impaired fasting glucose; TG, triglycerides; WC, waist circumference.

Odds ratio (95% confidence interval) adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and smoking status with Normal-weight Active and Normal WC Active as reference groups.

Normal-weight = BMI, 18.5–24.9 kg/m²; Overweight = BMI, 25.0–29.9 kg/m²; Obese = BMI, ≥ 30.0 kg/m²; Normal WC ≤ 102 cm, men; ≤ 88 cm, women; Central obese > 102 cm, men; > 88 cm, women.

Inactive = lowest quartile of MET-min/wk for population; active = higher three-fourths of MET-min/wk for population.

P < .05 for active versus inactive within BMI or WC strata.
