Table 2 Physical activity by domain measured by a self-administered questionnaire, and intensities measured by the GT3X+ accelerometers, in 26 women 3 months pre- (T1) and 9- (T2) and 48 months (T3) post Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery (RYGB)
Variables (N = 26) | T1: Pre-RYGB Mean (SD) | T2: 9 months post-RYGB Mean (SD) | T3: 48 months post-RYGB Mean (SD) | Difference T1 to T2 (95% CI)a P-valueb | Difference T1 to T3 (95% CI)a P-valueb | Difference T2 to T3 (95% CI)a P-valueb |
