Table 5. Variation matrix of time spent in sedentary behavior and different intensities of physical activity.

  Adults (19–64 years) Older adults (≥65 years)

Men            
 SB 0     0    
 LPA 0.185 0   0.289 0

 MVPA 0.445 0.232 0 0.980 0.578 0

SB, sedentary behavior; LPA, light-intensity physical activity; MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.

A value close to zero implies that the times spent in the two behaviors involved in the ratio are highly proportional.
