β = beta estimate; CI = confidence interval; MET = metabolic equivalent.
a
Model 1: Unadjusted.
b
Model 2: Adjusted for model 1 + age and race/ethnicity.
c
Model 3: Adjusted for model 2 + education and baseline marital status, smoking behavior and alcohol consumption.
d
Model 4: Adjusted for model 3 + body mass index.
e
Model 5: Adjusted for model 4 + history of chronic diseases and hormone therapy use.
