Table 3 Population attributable fraction of mild cognitive impairment due to physical activity, with further adjustment for body mass index, heart disease, and cholesterol concentrations

From: The burden of mild cognitive impairment attributable to physical inactivity in Colombia

 

Population attributable fraction (95% confidence interval)

Further adjustment for body mass index1

 Physically active, walking between 9 and 20 blocks at least three times per week

19% (16%, 22%)

 Physically active, taking part in vigorous sport or exercise at least three times a week

23% (16%, 30%)

Further adjustment for heart disease2

 Physically active, walking between 9 and 20 blocks at least three times per week

19% (16%, 22%)

 Physically active, taking part in vigorous sport or exercise at least three times a week

23% (16%, 29%)

Further adjustment for cholesterol3

 Physically active, walking between 9 and 20 blocks at least three times per week

26% (16%, 34%)

 Physically active, taking part in vigorous sport or exercise at least three times a week

8% (-11%, 24%)

  1. 1Models adjusted for age, sex, height, education, current individual income, civil status, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, and body mass index (n = 20,093 for walking and 20,107 for sport or exercise). Body mass index values greater than 75 were deemed to be dubious and were not included
  2. 2Models adjusted for age, sex, height, education, current individual income, civil status, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, and a diagnosis of heart disease (n = 20,152 for walking and 20,166 for sport or exercise). More than 3,000 participants in SABE Colombia reported a diagnosis of heart disease
  3. 3Models adjusted for age, sex, height, education, current individual income, civil status, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (n = 3,432 for walking and 3,435 for sport or exercise). More than 4,000 participants in SABE Colombia gave a blood sample after an overnight fast. Total cholesterol concentrations greater than 300 mg/dL and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations greater than 80 mg/dL were deemed to be dubious and were not included
