CI, confidence interval; DSW, divorced, separated, widowed; HS, high school; NH, non-Hispanic; PA, physical activity.
Note: All estimates are weighted and based on unweighted n = 4073 for all variables, except for physical activity and walking, as noted below.
a
P value based on Cochrane-Armitage test for trend.
b
Self-reported leisure-time physical activity, assessed distinctly from walking; high, ≥300 min/week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA); sufficient, 150–299 min/week of MVPA; insufficient, 1–149 min/week of MVPA; inactive, no MVPA; unweighted n = 3987.
c
Excludes those who reported an inability to walk; unweighted n = 3869.
