Figure 1.
Tornado diagram showing the results of the univariate sensitivity analysis in women of attributable cases of disease by difference in physical activity levels, Morocco, 2017. A low level of physical activity was defined as 600 to 3,999 MET-min/wk and a high level of physical activity as ≥8,000 MET-min/wk. Numbers for colorectal cancer and breast cancer are too small to display on this chart.
| Disease | Low level of physical activity | High level of physical activity |
|---|---|---|
| Breast cancer | 49 | −222 |
| Colorectal cancer | 31 | −74 |
| Diabetes type 2 | 73,930 | −161,801 |
| Ischemic heart disease | 2,670 | −4,343 |
| Ischemic stroke | 1,147 | −2,135 |
