Percentiles for the continuous variables.
| Variable | Percentile (±SE) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5th | 25th | 50th | 75th | 95th | |
| Body Mass Index (kg/m2) | 20.6 ± 0.1 | 24.4 ± 0.1 | 28.0 ± 0.1 | 32.6 ± 0.2 | 41.4 ± 0.3 |
| Sagittal Diameter (cm) | 16.5 ± 0.1 | 19.4 ± 0.1 | 22.2 ± 0.1 | 25.5 ± 0.1 | 30.5 ± 0.2 |
| Smoking (cigarettes/30 days) | 0 ± 3.3 | 0 ± 3.3 | 0 ± 3.3 | 0 ± 3.3 | 582.5 ± 36.0 |
| MVPA (minutes/week) | 0 ± 8.3 | 0 ± 8.3 | 56.6 ± 7.4 | 236.4 ± 8.2 | 680.7 ± 27.6 |
SE: standard error. MVPA: minutes of moderate and vigorous physical activity combined. Less than 20% of the sample smoked, hence zero is reported until the 95th percentile. Similarly, adults in the 5th and 25th percentiles for MVPA accumulated less than 10 min of MVPA per week.
