Figures & data
Table I. Spearman's rank order correlations between MET-index, its individual components, and the pedometer measurements of total steps and aerobic steps (aerobic steps are those taken during activities that last for at least 10 minutes without interruption).
Table II. MET-index (METh/week) tertile cut-points in each age-group in men and women.
Table III. Base-line characteristics. Values are mean and standard deviation unless stated otherwise.
Table IV. Associations between physical activity level (I–III) and obesity indices, blood pressure, heart rate, smoking, alcohol use, and education.
Table V. Associations between physical activity level (I–III) and lipids, apolipoproteins, and oxidized LDL.
Table VI. Associations between physical activity level (I–III) and glucose metabolism markers and inflammatory markers.
Table VII. Associations between physical activity level (I–III) and adipokines and arginine metabolism markers.
Table VIII. Sex-stratified analysis for physical activity and risk markers in which the MET-index × sex interaction term was significant (P < 0.05).
