Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; IPS, International Prevalence Study; OR, odds ratio; PA, physical activity; PAG, physical activity guidelines.
Reported vigorous PA on at least 3 days, achieving a minimum total PA of at least 1500 metabolic equivalent-minutes per week or 7 or more days of any combination of walking or moderate or vigorous PA, achieving a minimum total PA of at least 3000 metabolic equivalent-minutes per week.
Reported ≥75 minutes per week of vigorous PA, or ≥150 minutes per week of moderate PA, or any equivalent combination of moderate and vigorous PA.
Models are weighted and adjusted for age, country site, and all other environmental factors in the model.
