The study determined that moderate and vigorous intensity levels were at 4.0 and 8.0 for work, 4.0 for transportation, and 8.0 for recreational activities according to WHO criteria. The guidelines recommend at least 150 min of moderate-intensity physical activity, 75 min of vigorous-intensity exercise, or a combination of both each week, totaling 600 MET minutes to maintain health. The MET values and duration from TPA were classified as low, moderate, and high based on WHO’s comparative purpose criteria. Using these criteria, cases and controls among PLWHs were identified. Cases met the LLPA criteria, while controls included those classified as HLPA or MLPA [18].
