  • Results are expressed as mean±SEM for continuous variables and as OR (95% CI) for categorical variables. Statistical analysis by analysis of variance for continuous variables and by logistic regression for categorical variables, adjusted for sex (male, female), age (continuous), BMI categories (normal, overweight, obese), smoking status (never, former, current), educational level (low, medium, high). PA data assessed using the GENEActiv macro file ‘general physical activity’ V.1.9.

  • BMI, body mass index; MVPA, moderate and vigorous physical activity; PA, physical activity.
