Fig 2. Predicted adjusted means of the physical and psychological domains of quality of life (standardised results) according to the clinical health status and physical activity level in the EpiFloripa study (Southern Brazil, 2012–2013) and North West Adelaide Health Study (South Australia, 2008–2010).
Results are adjusted for sex, age, marital status, attained education level, family income, and mutual adjustment between “walking” and MVPA. Individuals at risk include those with hypertension, dyslipidaemia, diabetes, general obesity and/or abdominal obesity, but without CVD. CVD include myocardial infarction, angina, heart failure, atrial fibrillation/arrhythmia, and/or stroke (with or without a risk factor). Quality of life scores were standardised so that the variables have a mean = 0 and SD = 1 (original variables Physical domain EpiFloripaWHOQoL = 73.8±6.2 and NWAHSSF-36 = 49.7±8.2; Psychological domain EpiFloripaWHOQoL = 71.6±4.6 and NWAHSSF-36 = 47.6±8.8). Vertical lines at the top of the columns represent the 95%CI.
