Notes *significant at P < 0.05 **Significant at P < 0.01 ***Significant at P < 0.25
Predictors: Patient previous 12 months chronic diseases elevated history (Blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, Cardiovascular disease), Anthropometric measurements related variables (BP, BMI, WC), and Biochemical measurement related variables (HDL, LDL, TGL, TC)
Outcome: cases with low level physical activity (LLPA), control without LLPA
Abbreviations AOR, Adjusted odd ratio; COR, Crude odd ratio, HLPA, High level of Physical activity, HDL, High density,lipoprotein PLWH, people living with HIV; WHO, world health organizations; COR, crude odd ratio; Total cholesterol, TGL, Triglycerides, LDL, Low density lipoprotein,
# All the anthropometric and biochemical measurements were compiled based on the revised Adult treatment panel three ( ATPIII ) criteria
