Adjusted prevalence ratiosa (APR; 95% CI) for total number of health conditionsb by categories of PA guideline adherence. aPrevalence ratio calculated using Poisson regression with a robust error variance and adjusted for sex, age, race/ethnicity, employment, education, income, smoking and BMI. b To be classified as having an chronic health condition a respondent had to report having a “doctor, nurse or other health professional” diagnose each condition. Chronic health conditions = hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease, stroke, depressive disorder, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, kidney disease, cancer (non-skin) and arthritis. c Physical activity guideline adherence: ‘Meet neither’: MVPA = 0–149 & MSA = 0–1 sessions/week; ‘MSA only’; MSA = ≥2 sessions/week & MVPA = 0–149 min/week); ‘MVPA only’ MVPA = ≥150 min/week & MSA = 0–1 sessions/week; and ‘Meet both’: MVPA = ≥150 min /week & MSA = ≥2 sessions/week. dreference = ≤3 adverse conditions. ereference = ≤4 adverse conditions. f reference = ≤5 adverse conditions. (Both unadjusted and adjusted PRs are shown in Additional file 2)
