For lipid-related outcomes, the possible use of cholesterol-lowering medication (statins) was included the model; and for blood pressure-related outcomes, the possible presence of medical treatment of hypertension was included the model.
BMI body mass index, HOMA-IR homeostasis model for insulin resistance, HbA1c glycated hemoglobin, HDL high density lipoprotein, LDL low density lipoprotein, RHR resting heart rate, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure; ns non-significant, LPA light physical activity, MVPA moderate to vigorous physical activity, PA physical activity (LPA and MVPA together), MET the metabolic equivalent.
The significant positive and negative associations are indicated by upward ↑ and downward ↓ arrows, respectively.
