Fig 1. Relationship between the overall cardio-metabolic risk factor and level of moderate equivalent physical activity in South Asians (solid blue line) and Europeans (solid red line).

232 (200 to 268) min.week⁻¹ of moderate equivalent physical activity in South Asians gave an equivalent cardio-metabolic risk factor level to that observed in Europeans undertaking 150 min.week⁻¹. Thinner blue lines represent the 95% confidence bands around the regression line for South Asians. These bands were used to calculate the 95% CI around the equivalent level of physical activity in South Asians. Regression lines are adjusted for age, BMI, total accelerometer wear time, sex and smoking.
