aDescriptive statistics are weighted using household-level sample weights and refer to person-years. Times/week for activity participation and workouts is reported by participants as times/week, times/two-week period, times/month, or times/year and is converted to times/week for all respondents as reported here. Participants could report light activity, vigorous activity, and strength training that all occurred in one day; this activity pattern would be reported as 3 workouts/week in the descriptive statistics.
