Figure 1 Association between physical activity and global genomic DNA methylation (LINE-1) in the North Texas Healthy Heart Study 2006−2008. Regression coefficients (βs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were generated from a simple linear regression model where LINE-1 methylation was modeled as a continuous outcome and daily physical activity was categorized into seven groups (0–5, 6–10, 11–15, 16–20, 21–25, 26–30, >30 min/day). 0–5 min/day was the reference group. Regression coefficients (βs), shown as the red dots in the figure, represent the difference in LINE-1 methylation (%) comparing each physical activity category with the reference. The vertical line represents the 95% CI with upper bar indicating the upper confidence limit and lower bar indicating the lower confidence limit.
