Physical Activity Adherence Categories: Inactive (No reported physical activity, referent), somewhat active (<500 MET min/week), Active (≥500 MET min/week). Metabolically Healthy Obese (≤2 metabolic syndrome components). Odds Ratio (ORc) is crude odds ratio, ORage is adjusted for age and ORadj is adjusted for age, sex, education, income, ethnicity, smoking and alcohol. Note: Sample size for “Active” Transportation PA analysis was not adequate
