Coefficients represent the factor by which the cardio-vascular markers are multiplied by (95% CI) for a 30 min difference in the substituted physical activity behaviour.
BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; LPA, light physical activity; MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; WC, waist circumference.
