Note. F&V = fruit and vegetable; MVPA=moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. For ease of interpretation, raw M and SD of F&V intake and MVPA are presented. However, P and F values are based on log10 transformed scores. For F&V intake, household income and marital status were controlled; for MVPA, age (centered), education, household income, and BMI (centered) were controlled.
