    <p>Note. Physical activity categories are based on whether the participant met CDC recommended levels of exercise per week. Perceived stress ratings are based on the Perceived Stress Scale. The interaction effect was significant (p<.05), indicating that the relationship between perceived stress and telomere length was significant in inactive participants only. The Y axis probability presents the probability of categorization into short telomere length (bottom tertile) as a function of perceived stress in inactive (top of figure) versus active (bottom of figure) participants. Probability scores were calculated from the fitted regression equations, assuming mean BMI and education level.</p

    <p>The Johnson-Neyman technique permits the examination of the log-odds of having short telomeres as a function of perceived stress at different values of physical activity (defined by statistical software). Confidence intervals that do not pass 0 are considered significant. As can be seen in bold, at 42 minutes of vigorous physical activity over 3 days, stress no longer significantly predicted telomere length. SE = standard error; LLCI and ULCI = lower and upper limit 95% confidence intervals, respectively.</p
