Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of deaths in relation to total activity during leisure at baseline during a 10 year follow up

Total activity tertile (kcal/day)
Cause1 (0.0–161.6)2 (161.8–395.3)3 (395.5–2747.2)p Value for trend*
*p Value for trend from Cox proportional hazards model with total activity metabolic index (kcal/day) as an ordered variable from the lowest to the highest tertile.
†Adjusted for age, diastolic blood pressure, and body mass index as continuous variables, smoking status (never smoked, previously smoked, or currently smokes cigars, pipe, or 1–14, 15–24, or ≥25 cigarettes per day), social class (manual), family history of CHD among first degree relatives before age 55, history of diabetes mellitus in the past five years, and job physical activity class (accumulated score 1–8, 9–12, 13–16, and 17–19).
