Note: NHPI = Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander; UCLA CHPR = University of California, Los Angeles Center for Health Policy Research. MPA = Moderate Physical Activity, indicates percentage of participants who did at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity for at least 5 days per week. VPA = Vigorous Physical Activity, indicates percentage of participants who did at least 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity, at least 3 times per week. All values are based on self-report data from the 2009 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS). Census 2000, UCLA CHPR, and Self-Report Race Definitions were determined using participants' responses to questions involving race.
Indicates mean and standard deviation;
P-values indicate overall P-value, P-value between NHPI and Whites, P-value between NHPI and Asian
