Sedentary time was evaluated as hours spent watching television or using video games and computers for non-academic activities. Logistic and linear regression models examined associations between risk-reducing behaviors and risk perception, awareness, and potential barriers.
After adjusting for confounders , advanced age was associated with 30%-40% elevated odds of consuming at least four fast food/non-home-cooked meals in the last week. In contrast, females had 40% reduced odds of consuming at least four pizzas or frozen meals in the previous 30 days.
