Comparison between walking and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity: associations with metabolic syndrome components in Korean older adults (original) (raw)

Table 1. Participants’ characteristics

Values are presented as mean±standard deviation or number (%).

WC, waist circumference; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; VPA, vigorous physical activity; MPA, moderate physical activity; MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.

Table 2. Correlations between different intensities of physical activity and metabolic syndrome components1

WC, waist circumference; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; VPA, vigorous physical activity; MPA, moderate physical activity; MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.

Adjusted for age, sex, alcohol consumption, and smoking status.

*

p<0.05,

**

p<0.01.

Table 3. Comparison of the associations of MVPA and walking with metabolic syndrome components1

Values are presented as estimated mean±standard error.

WC, waist circumference; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.

1

Adjusted for age, sex, alcohol consumption, and smoking status.

*

p<0.05 vs. low MVPA/low walking;

^

p<0.05 vs. low MVPA/high walking.

Table 4. Multinomial logistic regression model estimating the likelihood of meeting the diagnostic criteria of metabolic syndrome according to MVPA and walking1

OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; WC, waist circumference; BP, blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.

1

Adjusted for age, sex, alcohol consumption, smoking status, walking (for MVPA), and MVPA (for walking).

2

The number of participants meeting the diagnostic criteria was 775 for WC, 660 for BP, 724 for glucose, 607 for HDL-C, 395 for TG, and 589 for metabolic syndrome out of a total of 1,388.
