Association of self-reported and accelerometer-measured physical activity with adiposity variables in UK Biobank. Association of (A) accelerometer-measured and (B) self-reported physical activity with BMI. Association of (C) accelerometer-measured and (D) self-reported physical activity with body fat per cent. Association of (E) accelerometer-measured and (F) self-reported physical activity with waist circumference. Physical activity was grouped into 10ths, separately in men and women. Adjusted geometric means (from linear regression models) for BMI, body fat per cent and waist circumference are plotted against the median value within each 10th of self-reported or accelerometer-measured physical activity. Adjusted geometric means are represented by squares for men and triangles for women. These analyses are stratified by age at recruitment, region of recruitment and socioeconomic status, and are adjusted for educational qualifications, employment status, smoking status and alcohol intake frequency. Analyses in women are additionally adjusted for parity and hormone replacement therapy use. The figure shows point estimates and 95% CIs. BMI, body mass index; MET, metabolic equivalent.
