*
SD: standard deviation.
#
Differences in age, WC, FBG, BP, TG and HDL-C were examined with ANOVA approach.
†
PA, Physical activity was categorized into “insufficient PA (<150 min/week)”and “sufficient PA (≥150 min/week)” based on weekly moderate physical activity time.
‡
SB: Sedentary behavior was classified as “shortened SB time (<2 h/day)” or “prolonged SB time (≥2 h/day)” according to SB recommendations for Chinese people.
a
WC, Waist circumference.
b
FBG, Fasting blood glucose.
c
BP, Blood pressure.
d
TG, Triglycerides.
e
HDL-C, High-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
