2. Figure 1
Hazard ratios of hypercholesterolemia by the combination of weekly frequency (1-2 vs ≥3 times per week) and minutes of resistance exercise (0, 1-59, , and ≥120 min/wk). The dots indicate hazard ratios, and the bars indicate 95% CIs. The model was adjusted for age, examination year, body mass index, current smoking, heavy alcohol drinking, abnormalities on electrocardiography, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, parental history of hypercholesterolemia, and aerobic exercise.

3. Figure 2
Hazard ratios of hypercholesterolemia by meeting the 2008 US Physical Activity Guidelines for resistance (≥2 d/wk) and aerobic (≥500 metabolic equivalent task min/wk) activities. The dots indicate hazard ratios, and the bars indicate 95% CIs. The hazard ratio was 0.89 (95% CI, ) for meeting only the aerobic exercise guidelines, 0.82 (95% CI, ) for meeting only the resistance exercise guidelines, and 0.79 (95% CI, ) for meeting both guidelines. The model was adjusted for age, examination year, body mass index, current smoking, heavy alcohol drinking, abnormalities on electrocardiography, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and parental history of hypercholesterolemia.

4. Figure 3
The dose-response relationship between resistance exercise (min/wk) and the risk of hypercholesterolemia. Dotted lines represent 95% CIs for the trend obtained from restricted cubic spline regression (5 knots at 25, 60, 90, 135, and 270 min/wk). The model included the following covariates: age, examination year, body mass index, current smoking, heavy alcohol drinking, abnormalities on electrocardiography, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, parental history of hypercholesterolemia, and aerobic exercise. P=.13 for a nonlinear relationship.
