Results
A total of 6073 individuals aged above 18 years from 1763 households across 29 villages in the Ranga Reddy district of Hyderabad, India participated in the third follow up of the APCaPS Cohort. A detailed demographic profile of these individuals is presented in Table 1. The median (IQR) age is 33 (57) years. Males comprised 52.9 % of the cohort. 76 % of the cohort is in active employment, 46.04 % of which are in unskilled manual occupations. 40.49% of the cohort is illiterate while 28.25% have completed education up till secondary school. 66% of the cohort lives in medium SLI. 14.64% of the cohort are overweight. 22.22% of individuals have WtHR > 0.5 mm. Descriptive statistics for MVPA reveal that a total of 7.4% individuals did not even meet the minimum of 600 MET-min per week MVPA in this population. 66.47% individuals expend >3000 MET-min per week MVPA. Table 2 displays population characteristics associated with each factor resulting from EFA. Characteristics of lowest and highest tertile of predicted factor scores are compared indicating what kind of individuals score high and low on a given factor.
