Results: Some obesity indices mediated the association between physical activity level and systolic blood pressure in males [waist circumference (t = 5.31; p < 0.001), skin-fold thickness (t = 3.80; p < 0.001) and waist-circumference/height (t = 2.21; p < 0.001)] and in females [body mass index (t = 8.03; p < 0.001), waist circumference (t = 7.80; p < 0.001), and skin-fold thickness (t = 5.94; p < 0.001)]. Similarly, some obesity indices mediated the association of physical activity and diastolic blood pressure in males [body mass index (t = 1.95; p = 0.05), waist circumference (t = 2.65; p = 0.01), and skin-fold thickness (t = 1.97; p = 0.05)], and in females [body mass index (t = 6.49; p < 0.001), waist circumference (t = 6.29; p < 0.001), skin-fold thickness (t = 2.31; p = 0.02) and waist-circumference/Height (t = 2.59; p = 0.01)].
