A Data analyzed by a binary logistic regression. B The p-value is significant when it is less than 0.0027 according to Bonferroni adjustment. 1 Normal weight is considered normal for the body mass index. 2 The perceived state of health considered normal was very good and good. 3 The consumption of fruit considered normal is daily. 4 The consumption of vegetables considered normal is daily. 5 Light, moderate, and intense physical exercise at least one day a week is considered normal. 6 The absence of physical exercise at work is considered normal. Abnormal distribution was confirmed by the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test < 0.05 in a sample of (n = 82).
