Abbreviations: MetS – metabolic syndrome; PA – physical activity group; HE – health education group; SE – standard error.
Mean values represent least squares means from a mixed-effects model adjusting for clinical site and sex (both used to stratify randomization). In addition, the model included a term for the MetS/intervention group, follow-up clinic visit, and the MetS * intervention group * visit
3-way interaction; p-value for interaction = 0.059.
a
Accelerometry based on the 760 cpm cut-point (Aboyans et al., 2012).
b
All participants had expected follow-up through 24 months; accelerometry data were not collected beyond 24 months.
