Table 4 Adjusted multivariable GEE models with total sitting time (hrs/day)

From: The combined effect of physical activity and sedentary behavior on subclinical atherosclerosis: a cross-sectional study among Mexican Americans

 

Adjusted Mean difference of cIMT (95% CI)

cIMT ≥75% (adjusted OR, 95% CI)

Presence of Plaque (adjusted OR, 95% CI)

Physical Activity (referent = no activity)

 Low Activity

−0.009 (− 0.04–0.02)

0.54 (0.09–3.41)

1.18 (0.35–3.94)

 Moderate Activity

0.010 (− 0.03–0.05)

1.17 (0.45–3.07)

0.27 (0.07–0.99)*

 High Activity

− 0.014 (− 0.05–0.02)

1.28 (0.49–3.39)

0.41 (0.14–1.15)

Total Sitting Time (hrs/day)

0.001 (−0.003–0.004)

0.95 (0.89–1.02)

1.02 (0.94–1.09)

  1. cIMT model adjusted for age, gender, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and HBA1c (n = 336)
  2. cIMT ≥75% model adjusted for age, gender, cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and HBA1c (n = 336)
  3. Plaque model adjusted for age, gender, and systolic blood pressure (n = 340)
  4. hrs/day is the weighted average of sitting on a typical weekday and weekend day
  5. *, p < 0.05
