Multivariable Logistic Regression Models of Aerobic PA and Muscle-Strengthening PA Among California Nurses (n = 454)

Aerobic PA > 150 minutes/week Muscle-strengthening PA (>2 days/week)
Characteristics OR (95% CI) p OR (95% CI) p
Age 1.01 [0.99, 1.03] .23 0.99 [0.97, 1.00] .12
Race .02* .26
 White 1 1
 Non-White 0.61 [0.40, 0.94] 0.78 [0.51, 1.20]
Employment status .02* .29
 Not working 1 1
 Working 0.48 [0.25, 0.91] 0.69 [0.36, 1.35]
Body mass index (kg/m2) 0.93 [0.89, 0.97] <.001** 0.92 [0.88, 0.96] <.001**
Musculoskeletal symptom index (Score 0–12) 0.99 [0.93, 1.05] .69 1.03 [0.97, 1.10] .35

Note. Race was categorized into White versus African American, Asian, American Indian, Alaskan Native, or mixed. Musculoskeletal symptom index is a composite score for symptoms in the lower back, neck, shoulders, and hands/wrists. One point was assigned for each of the following criteria: (a) the intensity of symptoms was at least moderate, (b) the duration was at least 1 week, and (c) the frequency was at least monthly. PA = physical activity; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval.
