  1. PA, Physical activity; LTPA, Leisure time physical activity; OPA, Occupational physical activity; OR, odd ratio; CI, confidence interval. Model 1: Adjusted for age and sex. Model 2: Adjusted for model 1 plus obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, total cholesterol, glucose, and education. Model 3: Adjusted for model 2 plus LTPA (when OPA is exposure) or OPA (when LTPA is exposure)
