Multivariable linear regression analysis of blood pressure by amount of ST; stratified by median total MVPA minutes per week (n = 395).^a

	SBP		DBP		MAP
ST (hrs/day)	β (95% CI)	p-value	β (95% CI)	p-value	β (95% CI)	p-value
Below 50th Percentile – MVPA (n = 197)
Model 1 Model 3	0.53 (0.06–1.00) 0.33 (−0.14 to 0.80)	0.030 0.170	0.43 (0.10–0.76) 0.34 (0.01–0.67)	0.010 0.050	0.47 (0.10–0.84) 0.47 (0.10–0.84)	0.010 0.070
Above 50th Percentile – MVPA (n = 198)
Model 1 Model 3	0.41 (−0.20 to 1.0) 0.25 (−0.34 to 0.84)	0.310 0.400	0.18 (−0.27 to 0.63) 0.04 (−0.41 to 0.37)	0.440 0.850	0.26 (−0.21 to 0.73) 0.11 (−3.6 to 0.58)	0.290 0.640

Beta (β) represents increase in blood pressure (mmHg) for each additional hour of ST per day.

^a Median MVPA minutes per week was 262.9 minutes.

^b Model 1 adjusts for age, race, education level, current smoking, and anti-hypertensive medication.

^c Model 3 adjusts for Model 1 + log-transformed MVPA and BMI.
