Peak 30-min cadence, AUC and thresholds to classify each of the known cardiometabolic risk factors.
Peak 30-min cadence above the threshold classifies positive health outcomes.
Table 4.
Steps/day, AUC, sensitivity, specificity and thresholds that delineate cardiometabolic risk factors.
Steps/day below the threshold classifies the at-risk population. The sample size and number of at-risk cases for each ROC analysis are provided.

Sex-specific and total population thresholds for metabolic syndrome determined for each age decade.
Higher thresholds indicate higher steps/min or more steps/day are required to achieve positive health outcomes. A. Thresholds for peak 30-min cadence B. Thresholds for steps/day.
Fig 2.
Decision tree classifying low-risk metabolic syndrome by thresholds of time spent in minutes in each cadence band.
The value “No” represents absence of risk and “Yes” represents presence of risk. In each box, the values on the left are the number of participants in the box that did not have the risk factor and the value on the right are the number of participants who did have the risk factor. The percentage represents what percent of the total population were contained in the box. Spending virtually no time in cadence band 7 (120 steps/min) would result in a person being classified as at-risk. The only pathway that exists to be classified as not being at-risk is to spend time in cadence band 7 (120 steps/min), ≥4.2 minutes in cadence band 5 (80–99 steps/min), and ≥9.8 minutes in cadence band 1 (1–19 steps/min).
