Meeting physical activity guidelines is associated with reduced risk for cardiovascular disease in black South African women; a 5.5-year follow-up study

Table 1 Comparison of physical activity time measured using the GPAQ between active and inactive groups

Physical activity time	Active ( n = 141)	Inactive ( n = 90)	p values
Total vigorous (min/week)	0 (0–90)	0 (0–0)	<0.001
Total moderate (min/week)	540 (300–1080)	60 (0–140)	<0.001
Total MVPA (min/week)	610 (360–1200)	60 (0–180)	<0.001
*Work*
Total work (min/week)	0 (0–30)	0 (0–0)	<0.001
*Transport*
Total travel (min/week)	360 (160–840)	45 (0–140)	<0.001
*Leisure*
Total leisure (min/week)	0 (0–180)	0 (0–0)	<0.001

Values are medians with inter-quartile range in parenthesis. MVPA, moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity. PA time (work, transport and leisure) were normalized by log transformation for parametric analyses (ANOVA).
