Daily minutes of accelerometer-measured physical activity (PA)
| Accelerometer measured PA | Men (N = 2413) | Women (N = 3068) | All (N = 5481) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Very light intensity PA (1–2 MET) (min/d) | 644 (95)* | 621 (88) | 631 (92) |
| Light intensity PA (2–3.5 MET) (min/d) | 266 (70)* | 288 (73) | 278 (72) |
| Moderate intensity PA (3.5–5 MET) (min/d) | 48 (25)* | 28 (15) | 37 (22) |
| Vigorous intensity PA (5–8 MET) (min/d) | 18 (13)* | 28 (17) | 23 (16) |
| Very vigorous intensity PA (> 8 MET) (min/d) | 12 (13)* | 5 (7) | 8 (10) |
| MVPA (≥ 3.5 MET) (min/d) | 79 (39)* | 61 (29) | 69 (35) |
| MVPA MET-minutes (MET-min/d) | 422 (234)* | 329 (177) | 370 (209) |
