BMI: body mass index; DM2: diabetes mellitus type 2; GDM: gestational diabetes mellitus; HIV: human immunodeficiency virus; HPN: hypertension; LIPA: light intensity physical activity; min: minute; mo: month; MS: metabolic syndrome; NRCT: nonrandomized controlled trial; RCD: randomized cross-over design; RCT: randomized controlled trial; URCT: uncontrolled randomized clinical trial; wk: week. Physical inactivity is defined as not meeting at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity physical activity.
