Abbreviations: DV, dependent variable; IV, independent variable; β coef., β coefficient; CI, confidence intervals; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FCS, food consumption score; ABSI, a body shape index; VPAV, vigorous physical activity volume; MPAV, moderate physical activity volume. The generalised estimating equation (GEE) test was used with family (gaussian), link (identity), and correlation (independent). a Food consumption score was used as continuous data. Model 1 was adjusted for age and sex. Model 2 was adjusted for age, sex, and education level. Model 3 was adjusted for age, sex, education level, and smoking habit.
