Expected (a) waist-to-hips ratio and (b) HDL cholesterol level against composition of the waking day according to balance of MVPA and LIPA, with the remaining proportion of the waking day made up of SB, for a male with degree level education, maximum daily alcohol consumption ≤ 4 units, no history of cardiovascular problems or stroke, not taking heart medicine and (a) aged 50 with no history of cancer, a previous diagnosis of diabetes, and living in a household where total income is under £2600pa; (b) aged 40 with no history of diabetes, or cancer, and living in a household where total income is under £2600pa. The pale regions referred to as within confidence interval are combinations of LIPA and MVPA where the 95% confidence interval for the expected outcome includes the threshold, either Waist-to-hip ratio = 0.95 or HDL = 1.0 mmol/L.
