Coefficient represents the difference in BP change (in mm Hg) between the category of interest and the reference category; low‐intensity activity (activity with <3 metabolic equivalents (MET) h/wk; moderate activity (activity with 3 to <6 MET hours/week); vigorous activity (activity with ≥6 METS h/wk).
