Health Is Power: Active Transportation, Physical Activity, and Cardiometabolic Health Among Ethnic Minority Women.

CONCLUSIONS: MVPA was associated with improvements in body mass index, diastolic blood pressure, and BF among minority women, and these relationships may vary by race/ethnicity. Practitioners should recommend increased participation in MVPA. Future research, using longitudinal designs should investigate AT's potential for increasing MVPA and improving cardiometabolic health along with the role of race/ethnicity in these associations.
