  1. CI = Confidence interval
  2. Probabilities were calculated using logistic regression models for binary outcomes
  3. Outcomes: 0 vs. ≥1
  4. Adjustued Variables: Sex, age, education level and study area
  5. Physical Activity Guidelines (WHO)
  6. Inactive: < 150 min of MPA and < 75 VPA per week
  7. Sufficiently active: > 150 min of MPA or > 75 VPA per week.
  8. Metabolic syndrome: Any three of the following values: Blood glucose ≥5.6 mmol/L (Hba1C ≥5.7% in SAPALDIA4); waist circumference ≥ 94 cm in men & ≥80 cm in women; systolic blood pressure ≥ 130 or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 85; hdl < 1.0 mmol/L in men & < 1.3 mmol/L in women; triglycerides ≥1.7 mmol/L
