Cross-sectional associations between physical activity metrics (average acceleration and intensity gradient) and waist circumference with blood pressure, as well as IL-6 and IL-1β concentrations. Separate lines are fit to show the year-group specific relationships. (a) Association between average acceleration (mg) and mean arterial pressure (mmHg) for year 10 (open points: β = -0.71 mmHg, p = 0.021) and year 7 (solid points). (b) Association between intensity gradient (AU) and mean arterial pressure (mmHg) for year 10 (open points: β = -16 mmHg, p = 0.003) and year 7 (solid points). (c) Association between intensity gradient (AU) and log-transformed IL-1β concentration for year 10 (open points) and year 7 (solid points: β = -86.5%, p = 0.010). (d) Association between waist circumference (cm) and log-transformed IL-6 concentration for year 10 (solid points: β = 0.03%, p = 0.026) and year 7 (open points)
