PA patterns were categorized into three groups: regularly active, weekend warrior, and inactive. Dyslipidemia was the dependent variable and was defined based on total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. Adjusted multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the association between PA patterns and dyslipidemia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among the 13,814 participants, 30.7% had dyslipidemia. Of the 1,671 individuals with a weekend warrior PA pattern, 27.6% had dyslipidemia. Compared with physically inactive participants, those with a weekend warrior PA pattern (adjusted OR\u2009=\u20090.79, 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.69\u20130.91) and those with a regularly active PA pattern (adjusted OR\u2009=\u20090.72, 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.61\u20130.86) had lower odds of dyslipidemia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Weekend warrior and regularly active PA patterns were associated with lower odds of dyslipidemia compared with physical inactivity among South Korean workers.
