Relationships between PASBAQ and IPAQ assessed MVPA for men (left panel) and women (right panel).
Solid line represents the fitted linear regression line; dotted line represents the 45 degree line of equality (indicating perfect agreement). Pearson (r) and concordance (Pc) correlation coefficients shown.

Prevalence of sufficient aerobic activity, inactivity, and excessive sitting according to the PASBAQ and Short-form IPAQ.
Proportion of participants categorised as: (1) sufficiently aerobically active (moderate-to-vigorous physical activity [MVPA] ≥150minutes/week), 2) inactive (MVPA <30minutes/week), and 3) sedentary (sitting ≥540minutes/weekday) according to the Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Assessment Questionnaire (PASBAQ) and Short-form International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) across groups stratified by gender, age-group, income, resting pulse rate (RHR), and BMI category.

Prevalence of health outcomes according to the PASBAQ- and Short-form IPAQ-assessed tertiles of time spent in MVPA for men (top panel) and women (lower panel).
Proportion of participants categorised with physical health and mental health outcomes according to the Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Assessment Questionnaire (PASBAQ) and Short-form International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) assessed tertiles of time spent in Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA).
Fig 5.
Associations of PASBAQ- and IPAQ-assessed time spent in MVPA with odds of unfavourable health outcomes for men (top panel) and women (lower panel).
The odds ratios (and 95% CI) shown in Table 6 are shown in graphical form. The estimates compare participants in: (1) the middle tertile of MVPA vs. the lowest tertile of MVPA (dark grey), and (2) the highest tertile of MVPA vs. the lowest tertile of MVPA (light grey), grouped by health outcome.

The odds ratios (and 95% CI) shown in Table 7 are shown in graphical form. The estimates compare participants in: (1) the middle tertile of sitting time vs. lowest tertile of sitting time (dark grey), and (2) the highest tertile of sitting time vs. lowest tertile of sitting time (light grey), grouped by health outcome.
