* Model adjusted for age, gender, ethnicity, educational status, smoking status, alcohol consumption and total LTPA. ^: Additional BMI adjustment for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL and LDL. CI, confidence interval; cm, centimeters; BMI, body mass index; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; kg/m2, kilogram–meter square; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; LTPA, leisure time physical activity; MET, metabolic equivalent of task; mg/dL, milligrams per deciliter; mmHG, millimeters of mercury; h/wk, hours per week. Bold values indicate statistical significance.
